more detailed Extra-Capacity Streets Capital Improvement Program will include
all of the projects in the Cornell, Howland,, Hayes & Merryfield report not
listed above. as deletions in addition to a number of other items not listed

intention that when the currently-progressing street study has been completed,
the Council will act quickly to adopt a capital improvement program based
upon it and that this interim plan will be superseded.

from the Extra-Capacity Streets Capital Improvement fund establishedpursuant
to the terms of Chapter 3.20 may be expended for the purpose of making
improvements described in the interim plan adopted by this resolution.
