New Business. Letter from the Council regarding the Tamarack 'Extension. The Mayor appointed a committee headed by Councilwoman Sonneman to study this mtter,and in their opinion the route planned by the Engineering Department seems feasible and felt with proper publicity and the possibility of reducing the width of the street, making it a secondary instead of a major street, that much of the opposition to the proposed plan would be obviated. City Engineer, Lowell A. Rathbua stated that the City can still get gas tax fund money for a secondary street but a study should be made to see if the City needs will require 2 or 4 moving lanes of traffic. The Secretary explained that the OriginidlMaster Street Plan called for two intersections on EL Camino Real instead of three, so by having three intersections it might be possible to have secondary streets instead of the major streets. Chairman Grant appointed a committee of Commissioners Ward and Davis to study this with Commissioner Ward as Chairman. Chairman Grant suggested that a study should be made of the rezoning of Roosevelt and Walnut from R-P to Commercial. He asked Committee Chairman Hughes of the proposed zoning of Roosevelt Street to talk to the property owners near that corner and report to the Commission at the next meeting. Adjournment.
