The property on the north contains a car-wash and the property on the south a service station with a convenience store type facility. Short form paving petitions were furnished to the City by both property owners in conjunction with improvements to their facilities. In December, 1984, the owners of the property on the north side of the street requested that the City improve the street to City standards as soon as possible and on January 3, 1985 (M&C G-6213), the City Council authorized the Director of Transportation and Public Works to design the project with in-house forces and advertise for bids.
