Show State Road Officials Visit P.G, Study Traffic Hazards on 91 State Road Engineers James W. Booth and Robert Bleyl visited vis-ited rieasant Grove last week. In company with Mayor Paul T. Fordham and Police Chief Glen Newman, they inspected traffic hazards within the city. Particular attention was focused focus-ed on the intersection of Highway 91 and Highway 91-A (Center Street), where four fatalities have been registered in recent months. According to a decision reached after the inspection, left turn lanes are to be painted at the intersection at once. Concrete islands will be constructed con-structed with the coming of good weather, the State Road officials promised, according to Mayor Fordham. Another plan discussed at the meeting would be to make U-114 (Geneva Road) a one-way road southbound as far as 700 South. Northbound traffic would leave U-114 on 700 South and proceed east to Highway 91. Mayor Fordham proposed that inasmuch as state traffic would be using 700 South, the street should Je widened and sidewalks installed by the state. The walks are needed to safeguard school children, he emphasized. The proposal will be considered by State Road authorities. Also reported Mayor Fordham, blinker caution lights are to be installed at U.S. Highway 91 and Center Street and at Second South and US 91. |
