ON SAFETY COUNCIL REGOI~/ENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON "K" STREET AND AVENUE Administrative Officer Ross reported that the Engineering Division has contacted property owners on "K" Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue and on the west side of Fourth Avenue north of "K" Street in an attempt to encourage them to install curbs and sidewalks as reco~m~ended by the Safety Council for the benefit of the many school children in that vicin- ity. The majority of property owners in the area have indicated they do not wish to proceed with installation of improvements at this time. The staff was of the opinion it would be impractical to try to force the installation of the improvements by a Council initiated 1911 Act due to the probability of a fifty percent protest. It was reco~nended that the engineering staff continue to encourage property owners to install their improvements on a voluntary basis. Councilman DeOraaf suggested that it may be time to decide if we should continue or discontinue the policy of the City grading and paving for property owners who voluntarily purchase the materials for installation of improvements in front of their properties. He asked that a report be brought in on what has been done, what remains to be done and a reco~endation on the best policy to follow,in the future as pertains to City participation in street improvements. yRIGHTS OF WAY ACQUIRED FOR "E" STREET EXTENSION A letter was read from D.
