From The Indianapolis Star, Thursday, August 23, 1923: Work on eliminating or at least reducing several of the more prominent city street jogs is moving forward steadily, according to John Elliott, city civil engineer. Wrecking the building at the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Delaware streets is proceeding and as soon as the work is completed, steps will be taken toward reduction of the jog. This corner is one of the worst in the city and it has been the scene of several traffic accidents. The jog at Twenty-second St and Central Av was eliminated when filling station construction rounded one corner and the city did similar work on the opposite corner. Eliminating dangerous street jogs has not always met with public approval. Property owners have twice thwarted attempts at eliminating the dangerous corner at Michigan St and Highland Av.
