The Clerk read the following commlznication received from the Division of Highways: Reference is made to your letter of June 14, 1956, concerning the meeting held on June 13, 19562 by the Redwood City Council and various property owners regarding the proposed Maple Street Overcrossing and to the questions raised at this meeting. The information requested by the City Council, as set forth in questions 1, 2, and 3, is submitted herewith: 1. From an engineering viewpoint, the Maple Street Overcrossing structure can be constructed to provide for the reailroad spur and a frontage road with the same maximum grades as now proposed. This would, however, raise the profile of the Maple Street extension and incr",85e the length of the overcrossing structure. �.r 2. The approach ramps for such a revised structure could not be constructed within the presently proposed right of way. 3. The additional right of way for the revised ramps and structure would require an ..area of approximately 81000 square feet if the profile were raised; however, this figure does not include any additional right of way for the railroad spur or the frontage road. It is our understanding that agreement was reached on June 15, 1956, during an informal meeting held in Redwood City and attended by the Redwood City Council, City Manager, City Engineer, and State Division of Highways representatives that no changes are to be made in the plans for this project. It was generally agreed at this meeting that there are other ways that property owners in the area can get railroad access. The plans for this project have been completed in accordance with the Freeway Agreement and subsequent agreements with the City Council, and it is anticipated that it will be advertised at an early date.
