District highway Engin e e r
Lvtle wus in Ashland Wednesday
to meet with local city officials
and citizens in an inspection of
two proposed changes in the
city streets to facilitate truck und
passenger traffic through the
city. The first inspection was
made for the prop o s e d cut
through C street from North
Pioneer street to the Plaza and
an “aerial* view from the roof of
the Oak Street Garage showed
that such a proposed route would
require the cutting off of some 15
feet from the annex at the Ash
land Hotel, and the removal of
two houses on the alley between
North Pioneer and Oak street and
building occupied by the Whittle
Transfer Company, in order to
continue C street on through to
the Plaza. The street would enter
the Plaza along side of the Ford
garage.
Following the discussion on
this, the group next inspected the
proposed truck by-pass along the
railroad tracks, sturting at the
proposed start of the street op
posite the Putman auto camp to
Hetman street. Most of this area
is unoccupied and would entail
a minimum of trouble in remov
ing buildings, etc. From Helman
street, the proposed street would
cross the creek area to enter A
street at the Frideger Grocery
warehouse, following A street to
Eighth and then angling across
town to come into the Pacific
Highway at the Klamath Junc
tion.
During the day, various phases
of the Plaza project were discus
sed, since early completion of
that project is slated by the state
highway department. Engineer
Lytle stated he would make an
early report to the commission.
