City Council Rejects Sidewalk Plans In Lame Duck Session
In a late session the city council rejected proposed sidewalks on Barry Avenue East from Mulberry and on Wier Street. Earl Jones retiring as Second Ward alderman pushed the projects begun in 1960, but council members Sadel Finnegan Bunn and Kochnett opposed. The vote signals continued questions on property acquisition and future leadership as six newly elected aldermen prepare to join the council in January alongside returning incumbents and the new mayor.
