The statement was reported correctly, but the speaker’s facts were in error. The maps were actually prepared by Clyde E. Williams and Associates as part of a contract with the city for a planning and zoning study in 1972. According to City Engineer Cliff Norton, PRC has had nothing to do with the preparation of those maps, nor does it vouch for their accuracy. “Our sole function in the matter has been to keep them, along with other city maps as a reference for interested parties.” Norton explains.
