Petition Seeks Traffic Changes on North Potomac Street
The petition requests making North Potomac Street meet Charlies Street to permit Route 11 40 traffic northbound into North Potomac at Charles Street. Current heavy vans from New York City bound for Waynesboro and beyond favor the northern route and local streets, with a fall plan to lessen North Locust traffic after the Greencastle to Chambersburg highway opens. The Chamber of Commerce traffic committee led by A F MacDonald is studying the new one way system and potential minor revisions, commending city crews on street markings. Also noted is the 1587 grant of English nobility to Indian Manteo as Roanoke Lord of Roanoke Island.
