Planning Commission, City
Council and School Board
Will Thresh Out Matter
at Meeting Soon Rec
ommendations Made.
The problems of changes in
streets and alleys Murroumllni; the
new hifch school site on South
Onlululo avenue are now occupy
ing the attention of the school
board, city council and citv plan
niliK commission, and in the near
future the rilmnco and streets
committees of t lie council will
meet with the city planning com
mission and school board in an
effort to reach an agreement.
The planning commission hits
made the- following report to tlu
city council on tlile matter, which
the council has placed on file
to await action when it receives
tile report of recommendation
from its committees named above:
KciXHl Flkil.
"The construction of the new
high school on the .South Otik
dale avenue site presents two
problems whicli must be solved
before the school board can pro
ceed With Its program.
"First, the school board asks
that AVhitman (south of Monroe
extension), Jasper and Ivy streets,
ami the intervening alleys, be va
cated betwe-.'n .Monroe and Mel
rose streets. On the other hand
the planning commission, witli
the school board .concurring, de
sires that Monroe street be ex
tended southwesterly to a point
on'Uakdale avenue, opposite the
end of Dakota avenue, the wid
ening of Monroe street from 00
to XII feel, the widening of JO'il
yoll avenue (High street) to 70
feet, tile Widening cf .Melrose to
70 feet, and the widening of Oak
dale avenue, opposite the school
properly, to SO feet,
Important Street
"In oriler to assist In l h,- ac
complishment of these projects,
the school board will dedicate
tin- additional width necessary on
Monroe (between Whitman ami
Kenybn), Keiiyon and Onkdale
tiventie, and 20 feet on Melrose
between lie building site and Ken
yon avenue.
' Kxtcnsinu of Monro-.1 streel to
Oakdale avenue is a part of the
major street plan recently adopt
ed by the planning commission
and -city cuimrll. " Tlicrefurts H
is recommended that tin- city
. council spare no effort In order
to bring about the consumma
tion of the first step In the pro
gram of opening Ibis major street.
Monroe street is particularly im
portant, as It will be I he only
major street reaching entirely
nerom (own indway b.-tween
Stewart a v e n u e and Klevcnlh
street. When eventually extended
eastward it will cross South I'ark
addition, Wli tman l'ark addition,
and the Karhn.t tract, crossing
Bear creek ami termlnat'ng in
the Hear Creek parkway.
Ar.iMiiatlvc Plans
"It was originally planned to
directly counsel Monroe street to
the dead end of Dakota, avenue
bv an extension passing through
the northerly end of tin; si bool
property. II has been found,
however, that Hi' school board Is
limited In ill' frontage on al
dale avenue and that Ibis 1'"'"
,tlun wcujd s-ri'.ousl.v :int i' "ri'
with the arrang -nt "I' the
buildings as planned, so two 1
lerual .i schemes have been con
sidered. "Scheme (' makes the shortest
riiiI most direct connection be
tween the two streets, but on the
olh-r hand it Involves the pur
chase of more property than
scheme H. In either case. It Is
our understanding that the school
board Is willing to dedicate the
pint of the nil-vet which passes
through their pruperty. and will
pav one-half the cost of ao.iuirmg
the remainder. The merits of these
schemes should be carefully weigh
ed and the relative- co.-'tseoli-sidered.
l nvor Si'lieinc "('."
-In view of the probable l
manence of these cunl emulated
street Improvements and of the
amount of money being Invested
In permanent Improvements for
school purposes at this time, the
commission desires to particularly
recommend scheme C as the mo
acceptable. This scheme would
nol onlv make the shortest and
most direct connection between
Monroe, and Dakota streets, but
would probably penult a better
nllgnment for the widening of
Melrose street on account of the
greater building area made avnil
nble. Wo feel sure that in case
the council gives this scheme, fa
vorable consideration, that
equitable arrangement could he
arrived at with the school board
for the consummation of thl
project. "
