THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:

Los Angeles finance the hereinafter specified street improve-
merit projects out of the County Aid to Cities Fund and advance
to said City of Downey the amount of aid specified for each of
said projects, the,estimated cost thereof, and the reasons
therefor are set forth hereinafter:
(a) The opening of Bluff Road from Glencliff Drive
to Allen Grove Street.
1. This improvement, if made, would be for a
distance of three- tenths of a mile and in addition
to the opening would consist of 24 feet of oil turn-
over surfaced with a rock and oil seal coat. The
cost is estimated to be $4,000.00 including
engineering, construction and inspection.
2. Bluff Road is shown on the master plan as
a duly dedicated highway with 80 feet of right of
way. Its improvement will provide approximately
200 homes with an alternate route for ingress and
egress. It is contemplated that the ultimate
development of Bluff Road will be accomplished over
a period of years.
(b) Remodeling northwest abutment of Foster Bridge
Boulevard structure.
1. This abutment of the bridge over the Rio
Hondo channel is necessary to complete the sidewalk
presently existing on the bridge. The estimated
cost is $2,500.00 including engineering, construction
and inspection.
2. Foster Bridge Boulevard is a highway of
major county importance carrying traffic from a
large area within Downey to the highly
industrialized area around Bell Gardens in East
Los Angeles. Without a suitable sidewalk over the
bridge onto Bluff Road, numerous pedestrians are
required to stop into this heavily traveled roadway
to gain access to Bluff Road.
(c) Cole Street from Downey Avenue to Patton Road.

providing the property owners assume the expense of
doing the grading, constructing, concrete curbs and
gutters and obtaining the right of way clearance

if this portion of the work is assumed by the
roperty owners the estimated cost will be
$15,000.00, including engineering, construction
and inspection.

importance within the Downey area for aiding in the
flow of traffic and was considered of sufficient
importance for the county, prior to Downey's
incorporation, to authorize its improvement.

adoption of this resolution and forward a certified copy of this
resolution to Sam R. Kennedy, Los Angeles County Road
Commissioner.
