In 1964 the town board was considering ways to relieve the congestion on Altamont Ave and Curry Rd.

Sportsman's bowl to Consaulus Ave/Westside Ave could be done for very little money and would reduce Altamont Ave traffic by thousands daily.

Yeah that's another possibility. I'd have to question the cost effectiveness of doing it today though. I'm interested too, to see if there were any follow ups to the plan. Why didn't they do it? Neighborhood opposition etc.? I was 17 in 1964, and I don't recall it being discussed at all. Of course, at 17, my thoughts really weren't revolving around those types of things.

Haha. I just noticed I misspelled Helderberg. Oops.
