The contractor has completed the preliminary assess- ment procedures and requests a date be set for the benefit hearing. On the basis of the contract, it is estimated that the city's portion of the cost will be $40,483.00 and the property owner's share will be $53,891 .20. The total estimated cost of improvements on Meadowbrook Drive is $43,484.50 and the anticipated cost of the Oakhill Road improvements is $51,250.50. Meadowbrook Drive and Oakhill Road in'this area are narrow, high county road sections and represent a traffic hazard in their present condition. ese streets were not constructed to handle the present traffic volume or the anticipated traffic increase. During the past three and one-half years, there have been eleven traffic accidents, one of which resulted in a fatality, within the limits of the proposed project. The widening and paving of these streets will eliminate the hazardous condition which now ill sts. A petition .requesting the paving was submitted by the Eastern'Hill Dad's Club, signed by 580 residents of the area. These streets serve both the residents of this area and the Eastern Hills Elementary And High Schools. Howev-er, only three property owners abutting the project signed the petition and it is anticipated that there will be opposition to this project presented by the abutting property owners: It is therefore recommended that the following ordinances be adopted in the following sequence: I . Ordinance amending Ordinances 4374 and 4390 to clarify the limits to be paved; 2. Ordinance approving the estimates of cost and amounts to< be assessed and setting September 48, 1961 as the date for,,the benefit hearing.
