3RTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY,
Protest Planned
On Bridge Project
Residents of the L. Richardson
Memorial Hospital neighborhood
said Wednesday they will
protest a proposed Florida Street
bridge project which will provide
easier access to the hospital.
But city officials said the plan
has been established since 1959
and any other ac.^s closer to
the hospital wouldn't be feasible.
Mrs. Mark Ray said the South
Benbow Community Club formed
two years ago by about 100
residents of the hospital neighborhood
known as Benbow Park,
met Sunday at the home of Mrs.
James Hill at 1921 Carlton St.
and began preparing a presentation
opposing the street plan.
They plan to protest to the council
on Feb. 3.
Mrs. Ray said petitions are
being signed by residents of
Benbow Road, Eton Street, Carlton
Street and other streets in

homeowners already had stated
their opposition.
She said, "We are opposing it
because it will increase traffic
and hazard tremendously in out
neighborhood, where families
have invested life savings. The
building of the bridge will dump
a great deal of unwanted traffic
into our area."
The community club is being
