Waterloo businessmen pressed three measures to reduce traffic danger and crossings. They support an underground Rock Island crossing at Englewood avenue, a new Falls avenue route to divert traffic around a hill and two railroad crossings, and the Washington street extension to route U S highway 218 through the city.
