Feeder thoroughfares supplement the primary and secondary arterial thoroughfares and carry considerable volumes of local and internal traffic. Normally they do not require wider rights-of-way than they now possess, but their efficiency may be promoted by constructing the widest roadways which their right-of-way widths will permit, and by limiting or prohibiting parking along their routes in order that adequate roadway widths may be available for traffic. The time of establishing such parking limitations will be apparent as traffic becomes increasingly heavy. The feeder thoroughfares are designated on the plan in order that their importance in the traffic circulation system may be emphasized.
(A) Clay Street. This street is an important thoroughfare serving east side residential areas and extends from Alhambra Avenue north to Kyger Street at the Gem City TPA Park.
(B) East Street. This street carries a considerable load of local traffic between Harvard Terrace and Washington Avenue.
(C) Williams Street. The importance of this street is apparent from the map and by observation on the ground, and it will become increasingly important. It extends from Kelley Road to Washington Avenue and will become more important when the jog with Burlington Avenue is removed at Washington Avenue. Williams Street should be extended south of Kelley Road as a Parkway Drive. Wherever possible it should have a right-of-way of 70 feet.
(D) Second Street. Extending from Walnut Street to Freeman Street, this street bisects the residential area west of Columbia Street.
(E) Main Street - Avery Street. North of Kyger Street, Main Street and Avery Street should be designated and developed as feeder thoroughfares.
(F) Delphi Avenue. The short stretch of Delphi Avenue between Green and Kyger Streets will be of less importance after the establishment of the one-way streets in that vicinity. It should still be designated as a feeder street.
(G) Hoke Avenue. This street should be extended to the south to connect with County Road 1505, Kelly Road. Although this avenue is classified as a feeder street, right-of-way south of Wabash Street need only be 60 feet.
(H) Jackson Street. The block of Jackson Street north of Kyger Street provides the principal entrance to Wesley Manor and should be developed as a feeder street.
(I) Kyger Street. Kyger Street is an important thoroughfare and has been designated as a primary arterial thoroughfare between Jackson Street and Rossville Avenue. East of Jackson Street it leads to Gem City TPA Park and this section should be operated and developed as a feeder thoroughfare. West of Rossville Avenue it serves the Woodside area, which has shown much improvement and rehabilitation during the last 15 years and will see desirable residential development west to Clinton Trafficway and beyond. It should be designated as a feeder thoroughfare and extended beyond Walsh Avenue, crossing Clinton Trafficway, and uniting with the Road 50 North at Road 200 West. The new section should have a right-of-way of 70 feet.
(J) Green Street. This is an important feeder thoroughfare from Burlington Avenue west. It also is an access street to Gem City TPA Park. The section from Main Street to John Street forms part of the Main Street-Jackson Street one-way system. This street extends through Woodside, dipping south around the oval, and terminating at Morris Street. It should be extended west to Road 200 West. West of Walsh Avenue every effort should be made to obtain a 70 foot right-of-way.
(K) Barner Street. Between Clay Street and the intersection of Blinn Avenue and Barner Street, this is an important feeder thoroughfare serving the north side of the city.
(L) Blinn Avenue - Morrison Street. These two streets form one street essentially between the intersection with Barner Street and Clay Street. They carry a considerable volume of traffic and should be developed and maintained as a feeder thoroughfare.
(M) Wabash Street. This street has always been of local importance as a feeder thoroughfare and should be so designated.
(N) Freeman Street. East of Fifth Street, Freeman Street is of considerable importance as a feeder thoroughfare to Clay Street.
(O) Wilshire Drive. Wilshire Drive, east and west of Maish Road, has been developed as a portion of the Wilshire and Risse Additions. It would be desirable to extend it as a feeder thoroughfare with a width of 70 feet, east to Clinton Trafficway and west to the proposed extension of Armstrong Street. In the future heavy truck traffic should not be permitted to use it.
(P) Kentwood Drive. Kentwood Drive would provide a convenient feeder thoroughfare connection between Wilshire Drive and Wabash Street, but truck traffic should be prohibited from using it.
(Q) Myrtle Avenue. This is an important feeder thoroughfare serving the residential areas in and adjacent to Woodside. It passes the Woodside School and for that, and other valid reasons, should not be open to truck or heavy traffic. It extends from Morrison Street to Rossville Avenue.
(R) Central Avenue. This street is a useful feeder street between the Woodside Circle and Blinn Avenue.
(S) Hawthorne Avenue. Between Barner Street and Willow Street, this street is of local importance as a feeder thoroughfare. It should be extended parallel to Rossville Avenue to an intersection with Clinton Trafficway. It would form an efficient relief function for Highway 38-39-421, and its new right-of-way should be 70 feet wide.
