Public Meeting On By-Passes To Be Held
The Frederick by pass plan moves toward a public meeting next week called by the State Roads Commission chair Russell H. McCain at the request of Mayor Donald B. Rice and Frederick officials. Residents on Biggs Avenue protest a proposed grade separation at Apple Avenue and West Seventh Street. The by pass would run from Route 40 east to Route 240, cross Route 340 into Linden Hills and east of Baughman’s Lane aiming to move traffic with minimal property impact. Officials hope hearings clear disputes so work can start early next year after a planning history dating to 1948 and a 1949 first outline costing over 11 million dollars.
