Lafayette Blvd. and Prairie Avenue, are based cn the proposed layout submitted by the

The propaeed rearrangement oP 'backs does not materially affect the City's
share of the cost ,at any of tole crossings except that of Bronson St.,
I am attaching an &ppr'oxiiite 'estlniate 'of the cost of the work at Bronson
St.,, based on ,the .raeaent three track layout, which you will notice is about 4,330,- D0
less than that filed with the grade separation estimate.
