Gov William Stratton defends state plans for F A I 80 in Joliet amid Spectator criticism. He notes extensive highway division investigations with federal input and local cooperation. City council earlier opposed the highway and bridge and awaits official plans and property appraisals.
Stratton notes public hearings were held to inform residents on the proposed Joliet south side highway and bridge site. Attorney Robert W. Thomas reports only one meeting occurred and protests were ignored, while Caterpillar officials and Joliet Chamber leaders approved the plan with a rubber stamp. The governor cites cross-river traffic relief as a key factor shaping the final location.
