The need for bridges over the Platte River at West Union and West Dartmouth was thoroughly discussed. It was felt these two bridges would tie the City together, and with the extension of South Windemere from Belleview to Highway 70, would open every industrial area of the City for development. The Master Street Plan was discussed, and the need for new and modernized signalization was also considered. It was pointed out the Master Street Plan has been tentatively approved by the Planning Commission, as has the Parks and Open Spaces section. Mr. Hill was excused from the meeting. Further discussion followed on all phases of the Master Plan. The meeting adjourned at 10 P.M.

Mrs. Romans stated a Planning Conference is being held by the Jefferson County Planning Department September 6th and 7th. The Commissions and staff members of other Planning agencies have been invited. Members were asked to consider attendance of this conference. B. A report was given by Mr. Rice of the progress of the Action Committee, appointed by City Council to sttldy redevelopment of the central business district. The Committee has recommended to City Council that a consultant be engaged to work with them. Further brief discussion ensued. IV. OLD BUSINESS. A. Public Utilities -Master Plan The Director stated the staff has basic material for the sections of the Master Plan that are to be presented to the Council with the exception of the water and sewage programs. The staff is now ready to begin work on this section, and will need the information from the water and sewer departments before they can proceed. Mrs. Romans asked that a letter be sent from the Planning Commission to these Departments requesting this information. Hill moved: Miles seconded: The Chairman be authorized to sign a letter from the Planning Commission to the Water Department and City Engineer's Department requesting in- formation for inclusion in the Master Plan. The motion carried unanimously. B. Master Street Plan. A draft of the Master Street Plan was given Commission members. Mrs. Romans read a petition signed by homeowners on West Quincy asking that the designation of West Quincy as a truck route be discontinued. The merits of designating Oxford as a truck route were discussed: the existing 100 foot right-of-way; signalized intersection at Santa Fe; and the present extension of Oxford to the west. Further discussion followed. Hill moved: Love seconded: The Planning Director be directed to ask the City Engineer for an opinion on changing the truck route designation from Quincy Avenue to Oxford Avenue. The motion carried un~nimously. A truck route in Northwest Englewood was discussed. South Tejon is presently designated as a truck route from West Evans south to West Dartmouth. It is proposed the truck route be South Raritan from West Evans south to West Harvard, west on Harvard to South Tejon and south on Tejon to West Dartmouth. From Evans to Harvard, Tejon would be designated as a collector street. This proposed designation would run the truck route through the industrial area rather than on the western edge of it. Discussion followed. Hill moved: Love seconded: That the truck route in Northwest Englewood be designated as South Raritan from Evans south to Harvard, west on Harvard to South Tejon and south on Tejon to West Dartmouth as part of the Master Street Plan. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Touchton was excused from the meeting. North-south arterials, both existing and proposed, were discussed. It was suggested that the possible widening of South Bannock be incorporated into the Master Street Plan. C. Park and Recreation Plan. The revised Park and Recreation Plan was given Commission members for their review. It was suggested, inasmuch as the Planning Commission has thoroughly reviewed this section prior to this, that it be referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission for their considera- tion. Miles moved: Love seconded: The meeting be adjourned. The motion carried, and the meeting was declared adjourned at 10:05 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Gertrude G.
