Council Approves Massive Public Works Plan for City in 1948
City council approved an $800000 public works program drafted by City Engineer Haimes, with all items but hard surfacing of 6th Ave 8 from 15th St to Mayor Magrath Drive included. Ald. Virtue opposed adding Henderson Park roads. Details of the hard surfacing plan, including South Side and North Side streets, were revealed only in Haimes detailed reports after initial summary confusion. The project emphasizes street, water, and paving upgrades, with costs outlined for plant mix and blotter treatment.
