will contribute to the creation of an aesthetically pleasing major street.

as a Class I collector street.
3. Undergrounding has been completed on Fourth Avenue from the noah city limit to '
"H" Street, thus making the proposed district an extension of an undergrounded
section. This overhead utility undergrounding conversion project is one of the two
projects on Fourth Avenue that are scheduled in the five-year "Franchise Agreement"
with SDG&E. The other project along Fourth Avenue scheduled to be completed in
year 2002 is between "L" Street and Orange Avenue.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby authorize the use of
approximately $1,000,000 in utility allocation funds to cover the cost of pole removal,
undergrounding overhead facilities, and private property conversion reimbursements.
