University of Virginia Library

'Long-Standing Idea'

In an interview with The
Cavalier Daily yesterday, Commissioner
Werner K. Sensbach,
said that "The city is proposing
that this facility be built as part
of a long-standing idea. No action
will be taken, however, until
the public has been fully informed."

"The 'long-standing idea' is to
relieve the University area of its
east-west congestion," added
Richard C. Brown, assistant to
the city manager. "We have to
plan for the increasing demand
in this corridor."

Representatives of the area
houses and citizens opposed the
plan, however, as one that
would "make the whole community
useless except for commercial
purposes."
