Traffic Check Due In 1965
An engineering survey is planned early in 1965 for parking and traffic flow in Murphysboro. Mayor Joe Williams says state help is sought to assign engineers to work with the city after the holiday period. Consideration of one way streets to improve flow and allow two side street parking is noted. Downtown parking for holiday shopping is a major issue. The city is acquiring three properties on Locust Street between 11th and 12th for development and will raze them in 1965. A second plat for Green Meadows subdivision on North 16th Street was approved, and the first plat for 18 lots was approved two years ago for Ellis. The mayor thanks Civil Defense auxiliary patrols for night store protection during holidays.
