On June 26, 1967, a petition regarding Ayers Street paving was submitted to
Council Members (copy attached). Consideration of the contract award was
originally scheduled for July 10, 1967, but because of utility adjustments
in progress, interest of citizens in the project, and right-of-way acquisi-
tions being submitted for consideration this week, the award of contract has
been advanced one week. The accelerated schedule makes it necessary to sub-
mit the hand-written engineers' roll instead of the typewritten alphabetical
roll which is normally prepared.
Project Mgcrip,.tion
Nature of work: Paving improvements on Ayers Street, as follows:
ROADWAY
UNIT STREET LIMITS WIDTH R.O.W.,
1 Ayers Street Avenue %" to Meadowbrook 36 feet 50 feet
The improvement and widening of Ayers Street, a penetration asphalt type road-
way now 30 feet wide, was first approved by voters in the bond election of
November 18, 1958, and additional funds for the City's share of the cost were
authorized by voters in the bond election of October 19, 1965 (CIP A-31).
Ayers Street was included in the bond program because it is the only through
collector street connecting Rosedale and Meadowbrook Drive between Beach
Street and Oakland Boulevard, a distance of approximately two miles. Both
Beach and Oakland have been improved in previous bond programs. Improvement
of Ayers would furnish a high quality collector between these two streets.
Traffic counts on Ayers made in 1965 indicated 2,784 vehicles used the street
daily, compared with 8,000 vehicles on Beach and 8,100 vehicles on Oakland at
the same time.
Widening of Ayers from 30 to 36 feet is proposed in order to permit curb park-
ing and allow two lanes of traffic to pass safely in opposite directions. Ad-
ditional right-of-way is required for the widening and the City Council has
already acquired ten parcels at a cost of $7;930.51. Two additional parcels
costing $13,269 are proposed for purchase at the meeting of July 3, 1967 (M&C's
L-1897 and L-1898). A total of 15 parcels are required at an estimated cost
of $32,200.
Assessments are proposed on Ayers Street against properties that have never
paid for permanent paving, and commercial properties for the cost of widen-
ing, in accordance with standard policies. There is no evidence that property
owners participated in the cost of existing penetration asphalt type paving on
Ayers. Residential property owners will be given credit for existing curb and
gutter, and for the existing paving if evidence is submitted showing prior par-
ticipation in the cost of paving Ayers Street. In all sections of the City,
residential property owners are responsible for the initial cost o paving, and
maintenance is the responsibility of the City.

Council policies, a payment plan is available to persons showing a finan-
cial hardship by extending payments for more than four years with interest
accruing for only four years. Application of this payment plan hasL
