<br />
<br /> "At a called meeting on November 11, 1969 of the Executive Board of the Cradock Rroperty O~ners'
<br />Association, the following problems were discussed and are offered to you for consideration and action:
<br />
<br />Because of mn increase in traffic conditions, G~anning Avenue, l~.¢in Street, mad Harris Road requir~
<br />widening and curds. Also, the drainage system is so poor that after a medium amount of rain, water
<br />stands so high in the ditches that boards are reguired for children to cros'.s in that area.
<br />
<br />With the building progr~-m of the Cradock Baptist Qnerch to begin after January 1, 1970, the
<br />additional space furnished by drainage mad widening of Fmrris Road would enhance the area.
<br />
<br />In general such streets as Nimholson Street ~nd Gillis Road, as examples, need to be widened
<br />and curbs and guttering installed.
<br />
<br />Most of the streets in the ~radock area has hi~] crowns whi~a make it nearly impossible to
<br />open car doors after parking.
