Plan to Open Oak Street Avoids Dangerous Adler Crossing
A petition seeks to open Oak Street through the Copper River Lumber Co tract to pass under the Soo railroad tracks. Adler Street would remain on the south side and a straight cut through the Oak street embankment would provide a north south connection. The state railway commission favors elevating either railroad or wagon road at future crossings to prevent collisions, noting numerous crossing accidents in the past year.
