This drawing published in February 1939 shows the plan for the two-million-dollar Aliso Street grade separation and viaduct over the Los Angeles River to get underway shortly. The State Highway Commission and Councilman Stephen Cunningham reported that the state is ready to contribute $220,000 provided the city and county contribute a like amount. The railroads had already pledged $450,000 as their share. Councilman Cunningham declared the Public Works Administration probably would appropriate $906,000. The plan, approved by city engineer Lloyd Aldlrich, is dated May 21, 1937. The Macy Street bridge is seen in the background.
