(Reflex-JournPhoto) al Hole Filling Project Ends in Street Improvement Layton A washed out road be- came an asset to this community recently when the city decided to keep right on working after filling a deep hole on. North Fort Lane, doubling the width of the street, raising it ten feet over Kays Creek and removing three dangerous intersections at Church Street, Gordon Avenue and Fort Lane. Water from Kays Creek cut the hole twenty feet deep in the side of the road. After making the repair, the city council decided to go ahead on the improvement of the street and called upon the county with roads also in the area to assist. Dangerous hills at the multiple intersection were removed and the earth along with dirt from the Heywood property was pulled to the low section right over the creek raising it ten feet and providing a more gradual slope to the new intersection. At the same time, the street was widened to forty feet, nearly double the old width. Both Fort Lane and Church Street have been straightened. Gordon Avenue which before crossed Church Street and then dropped down the hill for an undesirable intersection with Fort Lane now stops at Church Street. The improved road will be graveled this fall with probable plans for oiling next spring.
