Report on The City Manager reported on the proposed improvement signal imp, of the signal system at Century Boulevard and Alameda Century & Street, recalling that in 1968 following studies for Alameda the widening of the intersection and improvement of the signal system, the project was submitted to the County Road Department and the Southern Pacific Railway for approval. At that time, the County agreed to participate in the project, but the railroad did not act to provide the necessary street easement for widening the intersection. The original design included both signals and widening of the intersection. Although the area has since been annexed to the City, the Board of Supervisors has acted to authorize the County to take jurisdiction of the project and has agreed to provide two-sevenths ($6,OOOj of the total i t) estimated cost of $2:1,000 for the signal portion of the project, which can be done by use of Gas Tax Funds. If, in the future, widening of the intersection can be accomplished, it will be necessary to relocate the signal standards. In order to complete the widening, it will be necessary to resume negotiations with the Southern Pacific Company which may take many months. In view of the cost of the project in relation to the increased traffic safety, the Manager recommended consenting to tree inclusion of the intersection in the County Highway system and to the improvement of the signals by the county by adoption of RESOLUTION N0. 70-27 entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA, CONSENTING TO ESTABLISHMENT OF A PORTION OF ALAMEDA STREET WITHIN SAID CITY AS A PART OF THE SYSTEM OF COUNTY HIGHWAYS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES." which he presented.
