meeting with Mr. George Anderson of the A. V. R. Realty Company, and a
field survey they round that a relocation of the curb by 3 feet on the
south line of Broadway in the two blocks from Laguna Avenue to California
Drive would not afford sufficient additional width to provide proper
traffic lanes. However, a change to parallel parking on one side would
provide wider lanes at no cost except to relocate meters and repaint lines.

the City for the suggested curb relocation approache s $7000.00.
The Commission concurred that the present traffic lanes on Broadway are
inadequate, and it was thereafter agreed to request a meeting with the
