<br />
<br />The following reports from the City ~anager were read:
<br />
<br /> 54-257 - "I submit the-attached letter and report from General James Anderson, Commissioner, Department
<br />of Highways on the proposed widening and extension of ~ounry Street in the City of Portsmouth This is for your
<br />consideration."
<br />
<br />Attached -
<br />
<br />"The development of County Street, as proposed in your letter of June 22, 1954, has been tho-
<br />roughly reviewed with the assistance of your officials.
<br />Attached is a copy of a repor~ within the Traffic and Planning Division presenting the re-
<br />sult of their studies. It is interesting ~o note that High Street can accommodate a consi-
<br />derable incres~e of traffic.
<br />Also, by the construction of Hamilton Boulevard to Gosport Road, both High Street and County
<br />Street will be relieved of the considerable traffic to and from the Navy Yard. It appears
<br />that the City should complete the Hamilton Avenue Project to Route 17 - south ~S early as
<br />joint funds can ~e m~de available. '
<br />While the extension, of County Street is obviously needed for the development of your street
<br />pattern, it c~n not now be justified for designation as a Federal Aid route. I wish to assure
<br />you and the City Council of our interest in cooperatively developing the current and long
<br />range programs, based on arterial planning. With highest regards."
<br />
<br />On motion filed.
