City Pushes East 17th Underpass and West Side By Pass Plan
Mayor H V Jaastad lodged formal requests with the state highway commission for an East 17th Street underpass and a west boundary by pass. The Chamber of Commerce Good Roads Committee urged funds for a Southern Pacific subway near East 17th Street to aid Davis Monthan and Army camps traffic. The planned by pass would run from highway 89 north of Tucson along the E P and S W railroad right of way to highway 80 in the southern suburbs. The council also authorized U S Army use of Randolph Park as a camp and seven sections southeast of Davis Monthan as a maneuver field.
