Joliet Mayor to Seek Injunctions Over Bridge Dispute
Mayor William Hennessy warned the state he will seek injunctions if terms on the bridge project, including pedestrian access, are not agreed. City rulers demand streetcar service on at least one bridge and resist removing the Van Buren street span before the Jefferson street bridge opens. The Jackson street bridge is due for traffic by September 15 with Jefferson and Cass bridges two months after.
