Public Market Site and City Improvements Proposed
The annual report by Mr. Kinsley urges locating a public market on the Lackawanna riverfront between the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad bridge and Lackawanna avenue with possible expansion toward Linden street. He favors a three story market building with rail access on multiple levels and riverfront coverage. He also proposes a new grade separated route to Providence, shade tree care, and grounding wires underground to curb hazards. The report notes sewer pollution of the Lackawanna river and cites overall city paving costs and a push for a general ordinance to speed street paving by property owners.
