Junior High School property, approval of a heavy trucking business at the end of Lindber,g Lane, and, school bus ses leaving and returning from the Bus Mainteriance Yard. Thomas S. Hargis, Director of Public Works, agreed that Lindberg Lane Yias experienced increasing traffic. .: _Two proposed ~developments ~ on Lindberg Lane are being required to do half street improvements. The 1982, Street Resurfacing Program utilized,as a trial, a fiber:, mat to provide a better travel surface over several streets that had been considered unsuitable for overlay because the underlying base rock was inadequate. If the fiber mat proves successful, Lindberg Lane could be included on any upcoming street resur,facing project. .
