EXTENSION O F FLORIDA A N D KIRBY AVENUES (25) Public officials of Champaign-Urbana have proposed to the State Department of Public Works and Buildings, Division of Highways, the improvement and extension of Florida Avenue and the construction of a subway under the Illinois Central Railroad to connect Florida Avenue with Kirby Avenue in Champaign. This improvement will require land owned by the University between the east line of the Illinois Central Railroad right-of-way and First Street in Champaign, plus additional land south of the present Florida Avenue right-of-way between First Street and Lincoln Avenue. This extension would provide an additional major east-west traffic artery through the entire community and would greatly help the flow of traffic. As far as the University operations are concerned, it would add another route for employees to reach the campus, reduce traffic on existing streets crossing the campus, and improve the handling of automobile traffic during the football season. The only cost the University is asked to assume is the required right-of-way, which will involve relocating the Physical Plant Nursery. Both local and state officials have agreed that belt route truck traffic will be restricted from using this street. This improvement was proposed in the community development plan approved by the Board of Trustees on April ig, igsi (minutes, page 661). It has recently > Deduct.
