Will Fight to Save Woodland Park From Cut
The North End plans to oppose a proposed through cut at Woodland Park along Stone avenue. Residents argue a 26 foot wide asphalt cut would scar the park, ruin rustic trestle views, and harm the grounds. They cite traffic needs and saving costs for the electric streetcar line as reasons but unite to fight the disfiguring project. A meeting with the King County Good Roads club is set for Friday as supporters organize a northern district coalition.
