The Neighborhood: This map shows the Model Cities Neighborhood with an estimated population in the 4,000 to 4,500 range. Millions of dollars could be poured into the area during the next few years to upgrade it physically and to help residents economically through employment projects. The program is expected to last about five years. A controversy now rages over the Packard-to-Beakes bypass route, with Model Cities representatives objecting to the northern end which would turn Kingsley and Beakes into major thoroughfares and divide the Model Neighborhood. An alternative suggested by Model Cities would be to follow the route of the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks to connect with Main St. near Depot.

Packard-Beakes Route: This map focuses on the center of the controversial Packard-Beakes bypass, which was approved by City Council last night. It shows the northerly connection with Beakes and Kingsley as one-way pairs, Beakes handling inbound traffic and Kingsley the outbound motorists. Beakes and Kingsley would connect with Ashley and First (at left) which would then connect with Packard south of the Man St. business district. Arrows on the map indicate the traffic pattern which will result when--and if--the bypass is completed. The dotted-in diagram in the upper half of the map is the proposed alternative bypass route proposed by the Model Cities Policy Board, a routing termed too expensive by city officials. The route which was approved was first proposed six years ago. (Story on Page 1)

Yesterday was a very wet day, as this picture of semi-flooded E. Summit St. proves. Here, neighborhood youngsters frolic in the water that covered the street between N. Main St. and N. Fourth Ave. A total of 1.9 inches of rain fell in the severe cloudbursts that lashed the city during the afternoon and evening. Only minor damage was reported, however.
