Rail Highway Separation
Fill Draws Protests
From Citizens
ALBANY In the face of new
protests from residents, -work on
the relocated - Pacific highway
through Albany continues rapidly
with three shifts run. Contract
bidding' for the north and south
connections on the grade construc
tion will be opened August 31.
As to the protests, for several
years many Albany people have
found fault -with the Burkhart
crossing at the eastern limits of
the city. The present highway
crosses the Southern Paclficvrail
way here and although there are
clear Tlews either way, a number
of accidents have occurred, al
thought perhaps no more than at
other crossings.
Several meetings were held and
petitions were circulated asking
the highway commission to relo
cate the highway through the
city, to avoid this railway cross
ing. The commission agreed, with
the result that the new highway
will leave the present one some
three miles north of the city lim
its and. come in on Eighth street,
following that street, and starting
at Madison, traffic will be routed
over an overhead grade crossing.
As a result a fill la being made,
which will practically shut off the
souinem part . rrom the rest of
the town. Now a large number of
residents are complaining again.
some have gone so far as to prac
tically demand that the construc
tion work be stopped.
