Fernandez. Barry. Telford and
Associates Inc . consulting

major recommendation was
channeling ol the city's thru
traffic through several mam
arteries so that heavy traffic
can tie* eliminated Irom resi
dcntial and smaller streets
Commercial Street. High
vvay s 35 and 361. and eventually
Avenue A are seen as the mam
arteries ol traffic through
Aransas Pass Holguin said the
tirm recommends a major
artery ev cry mile or mile and a
hall and a collector street ev ery
one halt or three quarter miles
He said Kith Street Deberry
Street, and Stall Avenue from
the waterfront were recoin
mended as collector streets

The airport Holguin said,
provides a mode rn, convenient
form ol travel and is well
located lor louris's However,

limited oti one side by water and
on th<* other by the railroad

that within livc>years the city

the railroad facilities to
enhance tourism.
