City weighs Garfield Avenue widening to cut NW Street truck traffic
Council considers widening Garfield Avenue to relieve North West Street from industrial truck traffic. Councilman Richard Cunningham backs the plan to placate NW Street residents. Service Director Krogh reports contractor Robert Price will clean an outside storage area but inspectors call many items junk, noting they are construction materials. Norfolk & Western Railway declines cooperation on flood control at the reservoir, saying the culvert issue is Norwalk's problem.
