due to the poor drainage of existing (inaudible) to serve the area during the heavy rainfalls. It further aids the situation by not requiring in the future additional work under 35W in increasing the flow of this storm run off northerly. We also hope that this would aid in the traffic situation along Cleve- land Avenue by being able to pick up some of the low points. You can see we have several catch basins established along Cleveland which will hopefully aid the private property as well as the roadways as it goes toward the outlet, and it also serves to dovetail with the recently initiated study for Langdon Lake which the city authoxized several months ago. It is proposed as part of this development to do the work yet this year to the greatest degree possible and I might com- ment that there's a couple little problems with this project. One, most of the drainage pipe has to run right down Cleveland. Avenue and those of you that live along Cleveland know it's just like spaghetti on both sides of the road. There are util- ity lines of all sorts - sanitary sewer, water, gas, telephone, you name it and they're out there, up and down both sides of the road. That means the only place to put the pipe is right down the middle of the road. This caused us a bit of a problem be- cause We hated to see the roadway torn up, but we thought that was the only place to go and most of you here also, I am quite su~e, are concerned what would happen on the next project which is the Cleveland paving. It's our proposal that if this is done, Cleveland Avenue would be paved. The two do not have to go together, but there's approximately $40,000 of street work at just restoring the street back to its original condition that would be avoided if the street were done at the same time. We will take that when the next project is considered. That concludes this section. MAYOR DEMOS: Mr. Popovich, would you care to give your summary. MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, as you know, this improvement is interrelated with others, but as to this improvement alone - the total.estimated cost is $332,657. Since this is a storm sewer and if we stayed with the old storm sewer assessments of $250 per lot on residential; $500 for an 3
