This is kind of a sister thread to my still-unsolved topic/query revolving around the destroyed Earl Bales Park footbridge. I remembered today that in the early-to mid-1980s, off Westgate Blvd, there were the very beginnings of what was to be a residential street with houses on it. It was abandoned, and I wonder if anyone has more information about it. Up until about 25 years ago, one could drive down Westgate Blvd until it dead-ended next to a pedestrian entrance to Earl Bales Park, but the road was blockaded at the top of the hill back then and is now open only to pedestrians/bicyclists. Perhaps the desire to close the road to vehicular traffic is what stopped the housing development.
I have outlined the road, which still exists. I haven't been down there in many years, and don't know what it looks like today.
