�,j ternates j
To do nothing would be inconsistent Mith the City�s commitment to im�rove
existing oiled streets, �nd to sepa�ate the oombined sewers. Constru�ting
sewers w ithout street i mprovements has not been ef fect i ve 1 n th e pe s�-, i n
that the exi sti�g oi 1 ed streets are not capabi e of w ithstandt n� the
oonstruction activity necessary to construct the sewers, and merely reistore
the trench areas. Improving. the roadways in conJunction Nith 5ewer
construction w 11 I save ti me, money, and i ncorneni ence 1 ater.
Case could be constructed to a 40� width which would result in no parking
restrictions and permit parking on both sides of the street. '
