2 NEW THROUGH "ROUTES MAPPED FOR SOUTH SIDE

Improvement of Shelby and East Sts. Are to Cost City $434,000.

Two majof street improvement; providing main thoroughfares on the

South Side were announced at City |

Hall 'nday.

A 400,000 project to widen and

resurface a portion of East St. and $34,000 improvement of Shelby St. were revealad, They are part of Mayor Boeicher’'s 1938 program. Work is to start next spring. It was reported that options on the land from South St. to Sanders St., three-fourths of a mile on East St. had heen obtained by the City Plan Commission, Plans for the project were expected to be announced at a meeting today. At the same time Val McLeay, Plan Commission secretary-engi-neer, announced that options had been obtained on a strip of land between Georgia and Maryland Sts. on the west side ‘of Shelby St. to provide anothgy main thoroughfare on the south side,

Council Grants Approval

He said the thoroughfare would be provided by conneeting .Shelby St. with E. Washington St. or U. S. 40. Shelby St. also runs into -Madison Ave, on the South Side, he pointed out, and connects with Road 31. The City Council recently gave Mayor Boetcher its informal approval of a bond issue which may total $400,000 for the proposed East St. project.

City officials said East St. would]

_ be widened from 40 feet to 84 feet, providing a six-lane highway similar to West St. un the west side.

They said it would be converted;

into the same width as East St. is north of South 3t. and by connecting with Central Ave. at 11th St. it will become a main, straight-line thoroughfar: from Broad Ripple to Madison Ave.

Paving to Cost $85,000

The greater part, of the bond issue would go to buying up options on the land, officials said. This is estimated at between $300,000 and $350,000, while $85,000 would go to paving the roadway. It was estimated that $50,000 would be paid by the City for materials and the balance by WPA for labor. The options have been obtained . on the frontage of the lots abutting East St. City officials said they did net buy full lots. Residents in that section, therefore, will be given the option of either moving their houses back to conform with the new property lines or away from the area. : Mayor Boetcher was given full credit for the idea and its execution. Only obstacles to its fulfillment were technical—a resolution by the City Plan Commission changing the thoroughfare plan of the city and formal approval by the Whtrks Board. However, it was understood members of these bodies had already given their tacit recognition.

Plan Other Improvements

While the immediate project is confined to this section and will be commenced next spring with completion expected in the summer, City officials said it was the beginning of other large improvements. A partial solution’ to the South Side track clevation problem also is ..provided in the plan, they said. Officials said they hoped t! at the Belt :Railroad at Beecher and East Sts, can be raised, and thus, with the main thoroughfare for traffic on East St., eliminate the necessity of raising the tracks at every street intersection. Also planned for the future is the "elimination of the jog in East St, at its connection with Central Ave. at 11th St. Discussing the proposed Shelby * St. project, Mr. McLeay said it would relieve congestion of E. Washington St. traffic by diverting some of it southward. “It also will be a valuable improvement to the South Side hy relieving congestion on Virginia Ave, * providing a way into the city on a “through street,” he added. The City Plan Commission is to spend about $14,000, he said, for the options: on the strip which cuts across the northwest side of Shelby St. at the first alley south of Georgia St. Work on the. project will be begun next spring, he said. The estimated cost of the paving will be $20,000, City Engineer Henry B. Steeg said, bringing the total cost of the. improvement to about $34,000.
