Agreement Reached For New Street Extension At Hood College
Mayor Donald B. Rice announced completion of negotiations with Hood College for rights of way north of Seventh Street. The city will widen Seventh and extend Fairview Avenue to Twelfth Street, with Hood College parcels bought for 20 and 50 foot strips totaling $6,200 plus $231 for a curve reduction parcel. The project aims to link western residential areas with the north side, though construction timing is unspecified. The Fairview extension uses a preexisting 50 foot right of way for the new North Frederick elementary school access, funded partly by land sale proceeds toward a front campus driveway. The entrance project near Alumnae Hall is under way despite recent rains. The Thomas family gift funds the driveway, in memory of Ella V. Thomas.
