Hruza's feasibility study also indicated that the area north of Q will never build up to the point where the presently planned ac cess roads (Second and 3rd, Fifth and 14th) won't be able to han dle the traffic flow The planning consultant said Fifth Street, if widened to 42 feet and converted to four lanes, could handle all the projected growth immediately north of Springfield.
