The Mecklenburg County Highway
Commission, replying to the North Car
oling. Highway Commission for sug
gestions about road construction, which
the state commission will undertake
in thus county with nart of the $50.-
uuu.uuu bond issue, asks that all grade
crossings of the six highways to be
hard-surfaced by the commission be
eliminated.
The letter of the Mecklenburg com
mission to the state commission points
out that the Charlotte-Concord road
from Charlotte to Concord could be
improved by a change df route. The
letter suggests "that you change this
highway from what is known as the
Newell-Harrisburg route (to Concord)
to -what is known as the County Home
or old Salisbury road. This change
will begin at the intersection ofihis
highway about six miles north of! Char
lotte." The road on the Cabarrus end, con
necting with the old Salisbury road, is
much better graded and, is a straighter
line than the proposed Cabarrus end
as shown on the state commission's
map, the letter suggests.
The letter recommends to the state
commission that the Charlotte-David
son highway is the first one in the
county that the state board ought to
improve and thus puts its approval on
petitions that have been made by many
county organizations and bodies in Ire
tdell county that this highway be con
structed as early as possible.
The suggestion of the Mecklenburg
board further is that the Charlotte-
Mount Holly road be the' second high
way in the county taken up .for perma
rent improvement. It asks that all
grade crossings be eliminated and
curves straightened where feasible.
On the Charlotte-Belmont road, the
letter suggests, the dangerous Dowd
crossing in the city limits of Charlotte
should be .leiminated. On the Monroe
road, which has recently been improv
ed from the Charlotte township line to
! Matthews, the. letter suggests an unaer
pass be constructed at Briar Creek,
near the city limits, to do away with
the grade crossing over the Seaboard
Air Line tracks.
The state has already made arrange
ments to provide $175,000 for work on
the Chbrlotte-Davidson highway -n e
county and it is expected that the work
begin in the not far distant future.
