traffic at each site safer, said the
mayor.
The board entered into agree-
ment with the Department of
Transportation for the two ma-
jor projects. Moss said that
repaving of King Street, badly
damaged by Traffic detours
while the By Pass was under
construction, will begin in the
Spring and work is expected not
disrupt traffic for a long period
‘oftime. The Mayor said the city
. will be responsible for acquiring
right-of-way for the widening
project and the state will be
responsible for curbing and gut-
tering and will build a sidewalk
on the west side of Cleveland
Avenue at East School.
Responding to question of
Commissioner Jim Dickey as to
the length of time the resurfac-
1-85 AT HIGHWAY 161
ing job will take, the Mayor said
that “This involves a grinding
down process. There are many
layers of resurfacing there but
the city is in good shape with
curb and gutter on most of King
with the exception of East King
where the curb is broken badly.”
Commissioner Curtis Gaffney
asked that some consideration be
given to regulating traffic lights
since there won’t be as much
traffic on King now that the By-
Pass is open.
The Mayor said that eight.
metal 30 foot poles and light fix-
tures would be installed on N.
Piedmont and Cleveland Ave.
and the city crews would do the
installation. “We feel the lights
will illuminate the sidewalk areas
and will give sufficient illumina-
«tion for pedestrians in the bridge
areas at the By-Pass
changes,” he said.
