Warren approves Jackson Avenue widening plans
Warren borough council adopted state plans to widen Jackson Avenue at a total community cost of 16 500 with 11 000 for new curbs and 5 500 for paying. The Second Avenue project was dropped due to high costs and YWCA funding limits. Engineering notes cite a 26 foot wide 2 968 foot stretch east from Conewango Avenue and start of sewage work with river-crossing delays.
