Hi Ann,

When the project started the city thought only a few graves would
need to be disturbed. However, it has turned to to be a much larger
number (175).

These graves would be on both sides of Hwy 64W...not just the north
side (as they originally thought). There has been no final decision
yet on this. There is a public hearing scheduled as shown in the
full acrticle attached.
