Looking from Pioneer Avenue in the direction of the proposed Fitch Way extension. At the time,
Fitch Way did not extend all of the way from Pioneer Avenue to Wedgemere. The alleyway
extended only half of the way from Wedgemere, with the former Hunter property
blocking the way. By October 1948, that property had been sold and the city
was preparing to extend the alleyway through to Pioneer. These photos
show the condition of the alleyway before improvements.

Looking in the direction of Pioneer Avenue at the future path of Fitch Way. The photo was
taken from the former estate of David Hunter, a prominent early landowner whose
property blocked the path of the proposed extension of the alleyway.
