Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike Hearing

Julian Tarrant, a project manager for the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike project, points to a map of city planner Ladislas Segoe's “Proposed Interregional Highway Routes” at a Richmond City Council hearing held on April 13, 1950. The Richmond Times-Dispatch described the meeting as a “slam-bang public hearing,” as councilors hotly debated various proposals.
