DRYDEN ROAD WIDENING: George Harper, 411 Dryden Road, appeared before the Board and ad- vised he was representing property owners in the 300, 400 and 500 blocks of Dryden Road. He vigorously opposed the proposed widening of this street. He exhibited a petition signed by 75% of the property owners in the area who opposed the project and expressed his intent to file it with the Board within a few days when the expected to have 90% of the owners' signatures. He felt the proposed widening of this street was not needed since Route 13 bypass had lessened the traffic there -peak traffic occuring between 7:15 and 805 in the morning and 4:15 to 5:15 in the afternoon, that it would make the street a raceway, less safe for pedestrians and children, and that it would leave no room for snow removal on the south side. He sug:!ested some alternatives such as making the 300-400 and 500 blocks of Dryden Road one-way westbound,Oak Avenue one-way east from College Avenue, and spending the money contemplated for the project for an off-street parking lot. Superintendent Dingman termed the proposal the best and most economical when all factors are concerned and advised the Board that it must reach a decision now so that the work can be programmed. Commissioner Smith felt that a one-way street system would require a lot more money to be spent on Oak Avenue in order for it to be able to support heavier traffic, Commissioner Alo felt one-way streets create many other problems, and Commissioner McGee agreed with the Superintendent. By Comm. McGee : seconded by Comm. Leary RESOLVED, that the Superintendent be authorized to proceed with the widening of Dryden Road, between Bryant Avenue and Ithaca Road, in accordance with the present plans which call for all of the widening to be done on the south side of the street and require the relocation of utilities and removal of trees on that side.

He explained that the funds provided for this purpose in 1963 had been returned to Surplus because an invoice for these services was not presented until January 5, 1967 even though the report was presented and accepted by the Board on July 8, 1964 according to Mr. Hannan. Mr. Russell reported the Finance Com- mittee of the Council had not yet provided any money with which to pay the invoice in question because it felt the matter should be renegotiated with the engineers. Mr. Hannan felt the invoice may have been presented on time and been lost by the City.On the other hand, he felt that the Engineers themselves may have been somewhat lax due to a change of personnel within their own staff. By Comm. Smith : seconded by Comm. Alo RESOLVED, that the Board recommends that the Council make an appropriation of $5,500.00 for the purpose cf paying this invoice to Nussbaumer & Clarke & Velzy for its services in .,c+= :!c dated Oct. 9, 1963.

As of this date, the spur into our yard has been removed 'by the salvage contractor. You advised me that the track at our rear fence(west side) will be left in to service us, to the southern edge of Buffalo Street. It is of most importance to us that this be left in up to the existing roadway at the north because our open area,. narrows in a southerly direction. Moving it south from Buffalo Street only a few feet we tf ,be a grave hardship. Unloading from the westerly side(Brindley Street) will also creates problem. We would hope that the City Police and Public Works Department would cooperate in this regard. At some future date,when the City may find Brindley Street nonfunctional, we would be pleased to take it over, thus putting it on the tax rolls." By Comm. McGee : seconded by Comm.

Because the City already had six pieces of"Usiflex" pipe on hand and because the R. D.
