West Scranton Favors Southerly Viaduct Plan
The West Scranton board of trade viaduct committee met Recorder Connell to push a viaduct over West Lackawanna avenue. The recorder favored a southerly-side structure and suggested a separate ordinance, while the committee urged unity among West Scranton councilors and a $100,000 right of way and $80,000 construction budget. They proposed recording traffic and delays and supporting a public market beneath the viaduct to fund the project. A second meeting is planned to advance the proposal.
