Greeley Street Extension Plans Nearing Reality
The advisory budget committee recommends a 141000 tax levy this year for the roadway, with 100000 for preliminary work. The project widens and grades the route from Greeley and Killingworth to Larrabee to Broadway bridge, largely on private land. A streetcar line is planned beside the road to speed transit 15 to 25 minutes, avoiding 40 intersections. Approximate extension length is two miles.
