1. City Manager Jones reported that the County had prepared prelim-
inary plans for a grade crossing structure at the AT &SF railroad tracks at E1
Segundo Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard, as well as cost estimates of several
alternative plans. A communication from Supervisor Chase indicated that he
would sponsor budget appropriation for one -half the local share of the cost of
this project in the County budget for the next fiscal year and asked that the City
of E1 Segundo indicate its choice as to the scope of the project and make a spec-
ific request for funding. This project has been placed on the Public Utilities
Commission priority list for funding in the 1971 -72 fiscal year.
Director of Public Works Glickman introduced Mr. John Beke of the
Los Angeles County Road Department, who made himself available to answer
any questions the Council might have.
At this time, Mr. Glickman presented several alternative programs
with cost estimates for the improvement of this intersection. City Manager Jones
recommended a modification of Alternative #2 which would include the lowering
of the street grade four feet, building the intersection out of concrete rather than
asphalt, providing the ultimate width of eight lanes in E1 Segundo Boulevard and
completing the widening of E1 Segundo Boulevard between Aviation Boulevard and
Douglas Street. Further recommended that the pedestrian overpass and the widen-
ing of Aviation Boulevard be deleted at the present time.
After discussion, motion was made by Councilman McGill, seconded
by Councilman Frederick that the recommendation of the City Manager, as set
forth above, be approved and that the County be requested to include an amount
of $300, 000. 00 in their 1971 -72 fiscal year budget to cover the cost of this
