The ordinance appropriating money for PROGRAM CD 4 includes funding
for four projects. These are the curb relocation on the north side
of Westmoor from Sheridan to Bendix, reconstruction of the retain-
ing walls for the Walnut Street approaches to the G. T. & W. and
the Penn - Central tracks, curb and sidewalk at the Bowman Cemetary
site, and new curb for two blocks of Huron Street.
The Westmoor Street curb relocation is being accomplished with the
CSS & SB Railroad and Bendix Corporation. As a part of this over-
all program, the CSS & SB Railroad will remove their tracks from
this portion of Westmoor Street. This will not only eliminate the
hazards of the train - vehicle conflicts, but will also simplify the
problems of maintaining this hazardous and difficult to maintain
section of street.
The deterioration of the Walnut Street Railroad approach retaining
walls is resulting in the loss of the pedestrian hand rails and
erosion of the street. Reconstruction of the walls will correct
these problems and will include a ramp for handicapped persons.
Bowman Cemetary is a City cemetary. Replacement of the deterior-
ated curb is a City responsibility. As a part of this project, a
total of approximately one -half (2) block of curb will be replaced.
Sidewalk will be replaced as required across City property.

Huron Street between Chicago Street and Albert Street has experienced
failure due to settlement of an underlying layer of muck and peat.
The Bureau of Streets will remove the existing street and the under-
lying layer of bad soil, perform the backfill, and pave the street.
New curbs will be placed by contract.
Your favorable consideration for this appropriation is recommended.
Very truly yours,
Rollin E. Farrand, P. E.
Director
