the need is critical; that the overpass will benefit the City; and that it should be implemented as soon as possible. The following persons also spoke on the subject: Richard E. Longshore, 2314 N. Park Blvd. Mrs. Sinclair, 1916 Greenleaf Geneva Fulton, 1801 N. Greenleaf David G. Casnocha, 2329 Riverside Drive Virginia Ferry, 2312 N. Broadway Don Barker, 2328 Riverside Drive Maurice Lycan, 2332 Riverside Drive Several of the speakers requested information regarding the effect of Alignment A on their properties as well as the traffic on Santa Clara Avenue and Broadway. The Director of Public Works stated that Staff had not yet prepared detailed plans; that Staff will be working with the community for input throughout that process; and that everyone is aware whose house will stay and whose will be taken. Mr. Casnocha was opposed to Alignment A, and spoke in favor of Alignment C. He stated Alignment A would result in moving the traffic congestion from one part of town to another, and end up with a large number of cars on Main Street and Memory Lane. Mr. Barker was opposed to Alignment A and spoke in favor of Alignment D-1 as having the least impact on the neighborhood. He filed a letter, dated February 20, 1978 in support of his opinion. Mrs. Virginia Ferry also filed a letter in opposition to Align- ment A because of high replacement and relocation costs for her property and her sister's, which are located in the 2300 North Broadway block. She suggested that Main Street be widened as an alternative. Councilman Ward moved to approve Alignment A for the Broadway Overpass and to instruct Staff that the concept drawings, specifications, and models, possibly, of the bridge alignment and mitigating environmental features be developed prior to the start of final engineering drawings, and prior to phased construc- tion and purchase, and to obtain Council approval of these after certification by Staff that mitigation is in agreement with the property owners and residents within the impacted area. The motion was seconded by Councilman Bricken, and carried 5:1, with Mayor Evans dissenting.
