In 1933, a renovation project was approved with county commissioners agreeing to cover $40,000 of the costs. The plan would eliminate the traffic congestion at the intersection by widening and cutting off corners along Hamm avenue between Broadway and Dolloff Rd., giving the street cars on E55 a more direct route. The project cost $200,000 with the city agreeing to pay half. The reconstruction was completed on November 13, 1935 and to celebrate the opening of the widened road the district held a civic celebration. | Source: Cleveland Historic MapsDownload Original File
