Council Signs Up to Pave West Sixth Avenue Right of Way
Seven city council members signed an agreement allowing the city railway to repave its West Sixth Avenue right of way with macadam. The plan raises questions over whether the majority can grant permission to change cedar blocks with macadam or brick. The company may later replace macadam with brick, and a formal contract to replace macadam when West Sixth is repaved is to be filed with the city clerk. Meanwhile cedar blocks are in demand for kindling as the fate of the paving remains tied to council ratification.
