the need is critical; that the overpass will benefit the City;
and that it should be implemented as soon as possible.

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

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.

Overpass and to instruct Staff that the concept drawings,

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
