Idletown's 1972 year of action highlights public transit and mall
The city’s 1972 annual report details two major fires, a new public transit system, and downtown redevelopment progress. It notes increased property losses from fires, completed design drawings for the climate controlled mall, and 42 percent of acquisitions finished. The Weatherwax Golf Course opened, garbage collection shifted to Big M Trucking, and Roosevelt Boulevard eastward extension completed a 42 mile east west corridor. City Manager Dale Helsel calls 1972 a year of action as plans on the drawing board moved forward.
