Item/Subject: Directing City Engineer to Widen the Dowd Road Right -of -Ray
at Odlin Road
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary:
The widening of the intersection of Dowd Road and Odlin Road is
necessary to accommodate the existing travel way, which has slightly
eroached onto the adjacent property. It is not considered feasible
eo try to narrow up the travel way, since the full width as it exists
is required tohandle commercial tuck traffic. This briar 1s
recommended for passage, will be followedup by a future report
from the City Engineer, at which time the widening will be Established.
