Mr. Campbell explained that there would be improvements of the downtown area to take care of the extra traffic; also that the Del Valle Parkway would not be finished for several years. Mrs. Vesta Fish, 837 Division, concerned about loss of trees; asked if the parking lanes could be eliminated. Shirley Maxwell - Concerned with the additional traffic on Main Street caused by the Division Street widening.
