City Council meeting of May 20, 1991 Page 2 Residents opposed to the improving of 132nd Street from Goodview Avenue to Homestead Avenue gave the following reasons: increased speed and traffic, and too costly. Residents in favor stated the following: road too dusty, not good planning to leave a small stretch of gravel road amongst blacktop roads, and road construction will be too costly when the road eventually does get paved. Councilman Miron stated that even though it didn't make good sense to leave that stretch of road gravel because the difficulty in maintenance, he couldn't vote to include because of the residential opposition. Councilman McAllister stated that "politically" it would be wise to vote against that part of the improvement, but good, long-range planning should prompt the Council to approve it.
