heretofore prepared preliminary plans for the improvement of that portion of

special provisions and specifications for the aforesaid improvement which were

changes of circumstances in traffic conditions, development of adjacent and
surrounding properties, alterations of roadway design and traffic controls,
and significant vehicular traffic increase since the passage of the afore-
said resolutions by this Council on May 3, 1971 and June 7, 1971; and

the passage of the aforesaid resolutions by this Council and to the date
hereof a number of requests made by this Council of the Department of
Highways and forming the basis of the earlier approvals have not been met
nor provided for;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council for the City of
