West Lackawanna viaduct repeal move tested in council
The Streets and Bridges Committee backed repealing the 1888 ordinance that accepted West Market street from the Providence and Abington Turnpike Co. The measure passed two readings as critics argued the turnpike’s claims were excessive and city funds used for repairs were unjust.
