A SIMILAR STUDY WAS MADE IN THE PAST. IT RESULTED IN A PROMISE BY THE STATE TO IMPROVE HARSHBARGER IF THE CITY WILL IMPROVE THE PROBLEM INTERSECTION OF HARSHBARGER AND WILLIAMSON ROADS AND AIRPORT ROAD. PLANS FOR POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS AT THAT LOCATION HAVE BEEN SHELVED IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY EXPENSE THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED.
