segments later expanded to eight lanes with a neutral atrip All of the officials concurred in the interpretation that attraction of traffic local and tran-sient to the expressways would greatly increase the utility of present thoroughfares Mr Pollard said that this fart has prompted the Bartholomew firm to reevaluate ita recent study and recommendations of a major street plan for Memphis w-hich called for widening of many existing arteries Last On ftrhedule Mr Fowler dJIared and Mr Pollard concurred that the least valuable and most expensive segment of the master plan was the proposed loop which would cross Mud Island and join the east-west expressway with the north-south Just east of Thomas This part of the project would necessitate aeversl bridges across Wolf River and tha
