While I was looking at the microfiche at the Johnson Library for info about the Holy Trinity polio shots, I copied a couple of relevant pages.

I've just had a chance to look at what else was on those pages. One told of the high concern in Hackensack and Maywood regarding "the Bergen County Expressway" (which I think was later called "the Bergen-Passaic Expressway" and, ultimately, Route 80).

Supposedly, it was to cut through both towns just north of the Susquehanna tracks - specifically, in the vicinity of Central Avenue.

Speculators were trying to buy up property along that street in Maywood while hundreds of people met at the Hackensack Civic Center.

These adjacent articles were on the front page of The Bergen Evening Record on April 21, 1955. The Hackensack article continues on another page, which I don't have.

Hard to believe that anyone thought that was a good place for a highway.

I don't know who G. R. Steinert was, but Google says there's a realty firm called Steinert & Steinert at 128 State St, #156, Hackensack. Another link says that the firm is at 128 State Highway 156 in Leonia.

Lots of similarities in those address, but I don't think I've been on State Highway 156 in Leonia lately............and neither has anyone else.

Good ol' Google.
