The locations where this signal work is proposed to be done are listed on page 75 of the lgo5-66 Budget. Subsequent to the adoption of the budget, this signal program has been reviewed by the Parking and Traffic Engineer and myself to determine whether construction work currently in progress, as well as one-way street patterns currently .under study, might warrant a change in said program. This review has disclosed that: 1. ~rTork on the signals effected by the Third Street Mall has, for the most part, been completed with funds available in the 1864-65 budget. 2. Signals proposed for Broadway and for Colorado Avenue should be deferred until studies of the proposed one-way street patterns in the central business district have been completed. 3. The modernization of the signals at Main Street and Hill Street should be deferred until traffic patterns resulting from the completion of the Redevelopment project have become evident. Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council be requested to approve the reallocation of the budgeted funds referred to above to finance traffic signal modernization, relocation, and/or installation at the following intersections: October lg, 1g65 Page 2.
