City Street p. 142 Council reviewed the proposed street projects, the amount funded
for each and made no changes on page 142.
P. 143 Funding for 30.63.17, 1979 Undergrounding Project was not requested
by the department. Mr. Uomoto said the project will not be com-
pleted in 1980 and he requested that $30,000 be allocated. Council
agreed.
p. 145 Council noted that Mayor's allocation did not include funding for
the Grady Way Bridge. Mayor Todd said it was found that the
railroad owns everything except the surface and the sidewalks on
the bridge. They had a meeting with Renton and letters were written
to the railroad telling them, since they own the major part of the
structure they should help fund the replacement. A letter has
been received stating that the railroad is looking into this.
Mayor Todd reported that $95,000 has been allocated to extend
Minkler Boulevard from Andover Park West to Southcenter Pkwy.
He suggested that this be removed for the time being. Council
agreed and the $95,000 was deleted.
