Show Highway heads get tough in urban areas Opposition in Salt Lake City to parallel parking on State Street is inciting rebellion elsewhere else-where in the state to existing or proposed parallel parking plans it was reported this week. J. Edward Johnston, State Highway Department deputy director for planning, said of that development Tuesday: "We are going to have to be firm." Firmness in the highway department's de-partment's case, means insistence insist-ence that state highways passing pass-ing through urban areas be limited to parallel parking. The as yet unstated alternative alter-native is the removal of the roads from the state system. Mr. Johnson said the State Street battle in Salt Lake City has promoted opposition to similar plans for highways passing through Springville, Kaysville and Grantsville and the department has detected rumblings elsewhere. |
