There was hassles about the whole route through there. In 1959, I was surveying for the city of Troy to run in water and sewer lines to subdivisions which had been built on wells and septic tanks while Troy was a township. The minute I would start setting up my transit, housewives would come boiling out demanding to know why "I" was trying to run I-75 through their subdivision.
