DWyer was one of the IN
Chamber of Commerce meeting
highway matters with groups fol-
lowing the luncheon at Riverside
House.
Extension of the Homer high
way, paving projects and other
highway projects for the PENN
sula were explained.
Dwyer said that highway con-
struction plans are staged on a
5-year planning program. All
these projects will not begin ito
morrow" he said, but they are
definitely coming in the near fu-
ture.
The district engineer report
ed his division has 80 construc-
ton projects forthcoming in the
near future in the Kenai PENN
sula with bids on many of them
to be advertised this winter and
construction to begin at the start
of next construction season.
Dwyer advised Soldotna to de-
yelop as a city and to formulate
a well planned program to avoid
mushroom headaches and even
tual terrific expense to taxpay-
ers by haphazard growth. He adj
yised that road plans include adj
equate space on each side o +
sidewalks and installation of util-
ity lines.
THE City Council should write
letter to the Division of High
ways at Juneau stating why the
widening Of the highway through
Soldotna should receive immed-
late action. Facts should be pre-
sented showing need for til S
urban arterial project Dwyer
advised.
The highway official said that
right of way 200-250 feet will
be needed and that eurbs, cutters,
adequate driveway openings and
possible shoulders for pedestrian
traffic should be considered as
the highway is widened. T h e
present highway now has only
1t0-150 feet of right of way.
More is needed if the highway is
to be widened.
EaJaral rs
81 per cent will help finance the
widening project. This federal
aid money will be transferred to
the state and the municipality is
to pay the remaining six per cent.
The State Div. of Highways will
handle actual construction.
Dwyer did not specify the ex-
act distance the widening of the
road will include, pending addi-
tjonal surveys. Soldotna Chamber
of Commerce spokesman, howev-
err, said the portion expected to
be included in this project will
extend from the bridge crossing
the kenai river at Soldotna, thru
the business district and out the
kenai Spur Road to the vicinity
of The Cheechako News.
The remainder of the Sterling
highway to Homer is to be COM
pleted, Dwyer said, with grading
expected to be finished by the
end of the 1868 construction seas
on. Approximately Is per cent of
the Homer highway will also have
paving completed by that time.
Remainder of the paving will be
completed in 1864.
Existing roadbeds must be inn
proved and deemed wholly ade-
qnate before they are paved the
engineer said. Eve are not shoot
ing for Cloud Nine. We are stay
ing down to earth on highway
