Harbaugh and others submitted petitions opposing the paving project. which were · said to represent approxi mately 6,500 feet of the frontage in volved in the improvement. It was their contention that such an improvement should not be made on Forest a venue unless it he a part of a comprehensive scheme of paving which would include other parallel streets as. for example, Lake and Greenwood avenues, and connecting cross streets . To pave Forest avenue alone, they de clared. " ·ould convert that thoroughfare into a speedway, thereby endangering the lives of the scores of children who live in the l~omes along the street. Among those favoring the pavirrg of Forest avenue were such well known and long established residents as F. J. Scheidcnhelm and George Vv. Springer, who regarded the ·improvement a s a progressive step, and one which would serve to materi!lllY benefit the prop erty owners in every way. They were inclined to discount the danger of high speed traffic indicated by the opposi tion. declaring that, since Fore st ave nue is not a through ·street, it would not invite a greatly increased amount of traffic. The engineer~s estimated cost of re pa\·ing- Fore st avenue with a concret e )Javement is $97,413. it wa s announc.ed at the hearing. · The hearing was adjourned to Tuesday, April 26.
