-2- more farsighted approach to dealing with the situation to help overcome the following problems in the current method. Most areas will be disturbed several times by the streets being reconstructed on a block-by-block basis, 2) By doing one block at a time there is no opportunity to achieve any "savings of scale" in construction constracts, engineering o hearing expense. I 3) The area will not have a "f$nished" look because some streets will still be curbless. with a roadmix pavement while others will have concrete curbs with uniform pavement widths and grades. The new reconnended process would be as follows for all projects re"ceived afte the adoption of the new policy: i A) Advise an interested petitioner not only of the routine steps, but- of any sidelot streets to be done and the description of the street reconstruction sub-area he is in. When a petition is turned in, mail information to the other property owners in the sub-area to advise them of the petition and the feasi- bility study that i's about to begin. If they are interested in having their street added to the study, they will be requested to contact the engineering department to obtain additional information. C) They would then have a short time from -the date the Council acted on the original petition (not more than 31 days) to circulate, return and have the Council act on their petition. 1) The staff would recommend to the Council the scope of the feasibility study to be undertaken, based on the input from the sub-area. The Council would order the study to be done with data prepared for each petitioned area individually and the combination of streets ordered for study as a whole. F') A public hearing would be held at one time for all the streets includeg in the feasibility study and those ultimately approved would normally be combined into a single project.
