SPECIAL ORDERS OF BUSINESS
The Mayor pro tem announced that this was the time and place hereto-
fore fixed for a continued hearing on the vacation of a portion of Coast
Boulevard, in the City of E1 Segundo, under Resolution of Intention No.
1353, and inquired of the City Clerk if any written protests had been
received by her in said natter. The City Clerk said no such protests had
been received at her office.
Director of Public Works Short at this time stated that he is not
entirely- satisfied with the improvements presently constructed on what
will be the new Coast Boulevard; that the tie -in portions at the two
terminations of the new highway have not been completed, the shoulder
on the west side is under construction and he anticipates same will be
completed by the end of the present week; that the shoulder on the east
side should be completed within the following week; that he considers
the conditions presently existing as being hazardous which should be cor-
rected by further construction work before traffic could safely be per-
mitted to flow over the new highway; however, in discussing the matter
with officials of the Southern California Edison Company, it would appear
that further delay in acceptance by the City of easement tendered from
Standard Oil Company of California through said Southern California Edison
Company for the new street, would impair progress on said Company's own
plant site.
Lengthy discussion_ followed as to methods which might be employed to
reduce the traffic hazard referred to by the Director of Public Works, and
a complete resume -of the entire matter-to date was* made by the City
Attorney.
At this point the City Clerk read to the City Council a communication
frcr.- Southern California Edison Company, dated December 9th, 1953, in
which said Company stated it would make suitable arrangements for the con-
veyance of slope easements to the City of El Segundo as soon as the loca-
tion of such slopes can be completed by its surveyors and the necessary
easements procured.
