ROADWORK MONEY
The council approved an agreement with Caltrans to receive a
reimbursement for resurfacing a 24-block stretch of Magnolia
Boulevard.
WHAT IT MEANS
The city is moving ahead with resurfacing Magnolia Boulevard from
Keystone to Clybourn avenues beginning in October. The city will be
reimbursed $919,000 from the state for the project. The total cost is
$1.04 million. The resurfacing work is expected to be finished in
early December. Due to concerns raised by the council, resurfacing
will not interfere with the annual Holiday in the Park event set for
mid-November.
