Objection Filed to Sixteenth Street Widening Impact on Tile Works
United States Encaustic Tile Works officials oppose widening Sixteenth Street from Delaware to Northwestern Avenue. They argue sixty foot width west of Boulevard place suffices, while eighty four feet could be used east to Delaware. The plan has occupied the city plan commission for two years as part of Indianapolis thoroughfare upgrades. The tile firm plans a 110 foot site extension for a warehouse and kiln, and says an eighty four foot roadway would force surrender of a fifty foot strip of vacant ground.
