They <br />are described as follows: <br />lst Street NW (from N. Main St to Graham Ave.): This is the remaining roadway in the <br />couplet system around the downtown area. The City apparently already owns a majority of <br />the property that will be required to build this project. The need for this project is great <br />now that the central fire station has been relocated to North Main Street, and fire trucks <br />have to negotiate the double 90-degree turn to pass into the City square. <br />S:\98285\WPC1Fina1 rcpon 2-01.doc 42 BWR <br />
