STEARNS & WHELER AGREEMENT: Assistant Superintendent Hannan reported that the design con-
tract with -Stearns and Wheler for the Vacuum Filter Facility, dated January 9, 1963, and
amended April 22, 1964, was originally conceived as a preliminary digester design and then
amended to the filter design at $11,200. The actual work done by the engineers far exceeded
what the City could have expected from them and they are now out-of-pocket on this project.
Eased on the final contract prices and the standard rate for designs, the City's cost would
have been $23,300. The project was approved for State and Federal Aid with an estimated
design cost of $26,000. He agreed with the engineers that a desirable alternative would
be to pay for this design on a cost plus profit basis which would amount to not more than
$17,000.

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 he 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 8:15 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 suggested some alternatives such as making the 300-400 and 500 blocks of
Dryden Road one-way westbound,0ak 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 A10 felt one-way streets create many other problems, and Commissioner McGee
agreed with the Superintendent. ,�
By Comm. McGee : seconded by Comm. Leary V / 6
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. Carried.
•
DRYDEN ROAD: Mr. Edward Schano, 513 Dryden Road, appeared before the Board and pleaded
that it consider the alternatives proposed by the property owners in connection with the
widening of the street, between Bryant Avenue and Ithaca Road. He listed the following
alternatives:
(1) Limit traffic to one-way.
(2) Prohibit parking on the street. - /�l /,-/
(3) Widen a little on each side and preserve planting.
(4) Widen all on one side, put utilities underground, and preserve planting.
(5) Viden and put utilities in backyards of property owners.
He asked for an up-to-date traffic count. He urged the Board to leave the street in as
good appearance, or even better, than it is now, but not to leave it in worse condition,
and that it not be let go as was done about six years ago.
Mayor Johns, Commissioners McGee and Smith, all advised Mr. Schano that all of the
alternatives he listed had already been considered by the Board and deemed to be
impractical. _ d41 .Q 57, 7x'67

the City and would establish a dangerous precedent.
Carried.
DRYDEN ROAD: Comm. Yengo reported that the Superintendent of Public Works sent out letters
to the owners of property on Dryden Road that is directly affected by the present
reconstruction program. The letter stated that the City had changed its plans to the
extent of requiring that all of the electric, television, and telephone distribution
poles be placed on the north side of the street. It invited property owners who were
anxious to see the construction project completed this Fall to signify their willingness
to furnish quit -claim deeds to the right-of-way so that the City would have a basis for
asking the Court to discontinue the injunctions which prevent the City from completing
the work on the street.
The Superintendent has received three replies from property owners signifying their
willingness to convey to the City. The Mayor has received a letter signed by the owners
of eighteen (18) of the properties indicating their support of the Civic Association of
Dryden Road. The Civic Association proposes that a thirty (30) inch grass strip be
left between the walk and the curb on the south side of the street. It also states that
the Association will stand the full cost of placing underground electric utility services
to the houses on the south side, estimated to cost them $14,500. 2-9 '23, /`i(/
Ten (10) of these property owners who were sent a letter have notreplied nor have they
signed the petition. In addition to the eighteen (18) signatures of property owners on
the petition, there were also many signatures, indicating support by residents of the
area.

ROBINSON & CARPENTER: The Superintendent read a letter from Robinson and Carpenter as
follows: "Dear Mr. Dingman: Confirming our conversation of last week, we would like to go
on record as follows: We have had no directions from the Lehigh Valley, verbal or otherwise,
as to their plans to service us. 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 would
be a grave hardship. Unloading from the westerly side(Brindley Street) will also create a
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 rolls."

a resolution on December 12th urging N.Y.S. Dept. of Public Works to maintain Route 96

as it enters Ithaca.
(3) Many traffic accidents have occurred as a result of trucks losing braking power on
this hill.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT: In the absence of the Superintendent, Mr. Dougherty presented
a report on items as follows:
Highways: He noted that Mr. Dingman, with the Mayor and other officials, had visited
Syracuse recently and found out that a preliminary plan, known as a corridor
plan, of route 96 from the vicinity of Trumansburg to West State Street had
been prepared and forwarded to Albany for approval - no design work done -
no schedule for planning or construction. The State Department of Public
Works is willing to consider bridging the new flood channel further north
for a possible connection with Court Street - provide a connection of routes
89 and 96 in the vicinity of the airport. No discussion about eliminating
Route 89 bridge at flood channel - discussedpossible improvement of Route 13
from Treman Park to Meadow Street to make it a four -lane highway sometime in
the next five years. Discussed Route 96B, but nothing new to report.
Comm. Leary expressed his concern about the State being unable to find a solution to the
very serious problem on Route 96B - South Aurora Street hill. He urged that the Mayor,
Superintendent and City Engineer continue their efforts at every opportunity to try and
get the State to solve the problem. 9.ivv-( U ► 11 k_

honoring
our dead, should be "off limits" to future anti -war demonstrators because many complaints
had been registrered about people lounging on the memorials during an anti -wand fartr dimonstra-

its bus service which would create a larger demand on the City's system. It now appears
that the College will continue its own bus service until 1969, and he therefore opposed
replacing a city bus at this time.

BIDS - CAST IRON WATER PIPE & FITTINGS: Comm..Yengo presented a tabulation of bids're-

Charles Millar & Son, Co.
Shahmoon Industries, Inc.
James B. Clow & Sons, Inc.
R. D. Wood Division,
Griffin Pipe Products Co.
U. S. Pipe & Foundry Co.
By Comm. Yengo : seconded by Comm. McGee
RESOLVED, that a contract for furnishing the City of Ithaca with cast iron water pipe and
fittings for the ensuing year be awarded to R. D. Wood Division, Griffin Pipe Products
Company, the lowest bidder submitting a complete quotation, in accordance with the terms
of its bid submitted; and that the Superintendent be authorized to order pipe in accordance
with the terms of the specifications as needed during the 1967 construction season.Carried.
GIDS -CAST IRON WATER PIPE: The Assistant Superintendent reported that the River Crossing
Pipe proposed to be furnished by the R. D. Wood Company is not compatible witfr the River
Crossing Pipe now being used on the West State Street Crossing. While the pipe quoted on
by R. D. Wood is the equivalent of "Usiflex", the type of joint was not such that it could
be used with the"Usiflex" pipe already on hand for the Clinton Street Crossing. Because
the City already had six pieces of"Usiflex" pipe on hand and because the R. D. Wood Company
could not deliver in less than 90 days, he recommended that the award for the cast iron
pipe made at the last regular Board Meeting be rescinded. R. D. Wood Company indicated that
under these circumstances and in the interest of helping the City, it would be willing to
forego the award. The U. S. Pipe and Foundry Company indicated that it could deliver the
required "Usiflex" pipe for use at Clinton Street by the week of April 3. The Superinten-
dent therefore recommended that the pipe award be granted to the U. S. Pipe and Foundry
Company at the rates set forth in its bid. This change in award amounted to a net saving
to the City of $1,400. _ //I Y/ 52�, >
By Comm. McGee : seconded by Comm. Putney jI

Company at the rates set forth in its bid. (The Superintendent has received a letter from
the R. D. Wood Division which states that because it cannot make delivery in less than 80
days, that it wishes to withdraw its bid and suggests that in the interests of the City,
the award be made to the second bidder) . Carried.
