Councilman Jacobi moved that the preliminary sketch, as submitted by the architects, Burge & Roach, covering the beautification program for the north side of Colorado Boulevard from Old Ranch Road to Princeton Avenue, be approved and that plans and specifications for same be submitted at the next regular meeting of the City Council on November 5, 1957. Said motion was seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously. I The City Attorney presented a copy of an order of the Public Utilities Commission instituting an investigation concerning grade crossings, and notifying all interested cities to supply specified data within twenty days. The City Engineer and the City Attorney then discussed the contents of 1957 legislation which provides $5,000,000 a year assistance for grade separations, the setting up of a priority list of aid projects, and the like. It was the consensus that our most needed crossing, namely Baldwin Avenue, would not qualify for assistance under the Act; that Santa Anita or First Avenue might qualify at a future date, but that the freeway alignment should first be determined-; and that the unlikelihood of the City qualifying for aid would not justify the expenditure entailed in submitting the required information, particular- ly since the City was in no position at this time to participate in the cost of any such grade separation. Motion by Councilman Camphouse, seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried unanimously that he meeting adjourn to Tuesday, October 29, 1957 at 7 ~ tJ(hU 7z~ City Clerk . I 2. 10-22-57
