STREETS & HIGHWAYS The following inter-office communication from the City Engineer Charleston Blvd. Under- relative to Charleston Blvd., underpass at the Union Pacific Rail- pass at Union Pacific road was presented to the Board for their consideration: Railroad "In accordance with a meeting held in this office April 1, 1948, with Mr. 0. W. Wright, Division Engineer, and other representatives of the State Highway Department, the following items relative to design and R/W acquisition were agreed upon: 1. SOUTH FIRST STREET In order that a better intersection design be obtained at Main Street and Charleston Boulevard, it is proposed that South First Street between Charleston Boulevard and Boulder Street be vacated and closed, eliminating this portion of the present intersection. Under date of August 31, 1943, the Joint Planning Commission recommended certain adjustment of local streets in connection with the Tonopah-Charleston highway improvement, item 2 of said recommendations stipulating the closing and vacating of this portion of First Street. This recommendation was subsequently approved by the Board of City Commissioners under date of September 2, 1943. 2. SOUTH MAIN STREET It appears that the most satisfactory solution to obtaining r/w at the northwest corner of Main Street and Charleston Boulevard (Klein Property) will be subject to the manner in which the small remainder of Main Street, lying west of this intersection, is developed. It is proposed that a 30 ft. (30') roadway be constructed on this eighty ft. (80') r/w, permitting twenty five ft. (25') parking strips fronting each of the abutting properties (Klein and Southern Nevada Industries). This 30' roadway would not intersect with Charleston Boulevard, but would turn westerly north of the Charleston Boulevard roadway and serve as an access road to properties north of the underpass. This roadway should be physically separated from the Charleston roadway by curbing and other adequate barriers. C. G. Petrie, City Engineer". Thereafter, Commissioner Moore moved that the proposal of the City Engineer as heretofore outlined relative to R/W acquisition be approved and the City Manager be directed to make a survey as to the cost of the proposed acquisition. Motion seconded by Commissioner Whipple and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Baskin, Moore, Whipple and His honor voting aye. Noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Clark.
