River Parkway to be Completed in 8 to 10 Years
Charles H. Young, pilot emeritus of the Mississippi River Parkway, told the Parkway Commission in Minneapolis that completion is projected in eight to ten years. He cited expected congressional funding of about 4 million dollars over five years to acquire scenic easements 300 feet wide on each side of the route. The Great River Road spans from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, using both new and existing roads, with signs along Iowa and Illinois sides. Tourist traffic on the parkway rose about 20 percent this summer in Kenora, Ontario.
