Speedway Town News

/The Indiana State Highway Commission is expected to report to the Speedway Town Board this week on new surveys being conducted in connection with Eagle Creek flood control plans and construction of Interstate 465. Survey crews have been at work in the Speedway flood plain area since last week compiling the additional data, Town Board President Kenneth H. Smith reported at the Monday night Board meeting. The new studies came in the wake of a mass meeting Feb. 27 in the Town Hall during which more than 100 residents of Speedway and surrounding area demonstrated against current plans for the routing of Interstate 465 through northwest Marion County. Opponents of the present plan are recommending that Interstate This is another in a series of Speedway Town Board reports being sponsored as a community service by the Speedway Business and Professional Men's Association.

465 be constructed at an elevation all the way from the P. & E. Railroad tracks north across U. S. 136 (Crawfordsville Road) as a more effective flood barrier than the proposed lower elevation to permit Interstate 465 to pass under 21st Street (Wall Street Pike). In other business, the Board took steps to assure stricter enforcement of sign licensing and erection regulations. The action came following a report by Ganz Hammer, building commissioner, pointing up the frequent violations of permit regulations in the erection of signs at Speedway business places. After a brief discussion, the Board voted unanimously to fine ABCO Signs, Inc., permit costs and penalties for erecting a sign at 10th Street and Lyndhurst Drive without the required permit. The present building code makes provision for fines up to double the cost of the permit for each day an unapproved sign is allowed to remain after its removal has been ordered by the building commissioner. The Board said Monday night it will request closer surveillance by police in checking new sign erection throughout the Speedway area. The Board, in other business: 1.
