In making the above recommendation, the Planning Commission wishes to cite the following considerations. 1. The City Council by ordinance previously closed this portion of Hairston Street to public use insofar as traffic was concerned. 2. In overall planning, the Commission feels that this street is no longer a logical through street for traffic in view of the fact th2t it n01-1 dead ends at the Norfolk and \-lest~rn Fai1road, and an extension of smne is impractical, if not impossible. The Planning Commission respectfully submits its recommendation to City Council for its further consideration.
