City cautions on using studies to dodge issues in shopping center decision
Mayor Ronald N. Young warned the city must avoid using studies to delay decisions as the Planning Commission weighs Chel Galander's 104 050 square foot shopping center at Hillcrest and McCain next to Frederick Heights. A traffic consultant study could cost about 10 000 if the Board of Aldermen agrees. The commission seeks updated traffic data amid concern about U S 40 West traffic and residential street impacts from large trucks.
