Division of Highways submitted the following letter= "In response to your letter of April 15th, I am very sorry that the bond issue proposed by the City to cover a cooperative project for the Five -Points Interchange on the above route, failed at the April 12th election. This office had been proceeding with the hope that a cooperative project with the city could be consuasbted, thus permitting the construction of the entire project between the Bayshore and Locust Street, south of E1 Camino, and including the interchange with E1 Camino, as a complete unit. P.. If the City is not now able to participate on this basis, then I feel that we must proceed in accordance with our statements made at the public hearing held August 28, 1959s calling for the interim improvement utilizing two one -sway streets with signalized inter -sections at E1 Camino. This procedure is necessary, since State funds are not available for the entire project at this time. As was noted at our public hearing, this interim improvement can be modified at some future date to include the interchanges, assuming that the additional funds can be made available at that time. From information which we naw have, it appears that it.may be at least ten years before financing can be provided for the interchange, bearing in mind the many other projects in San Mateo County that must be constructed. Should the City find other means to participate in the project to the extent previously contemplated, I shall be glad to again discuss the possibility of complete construction. To prevent delay to our planning, this word should be received -no later than January 1, 1961." Signed: "J. P. Sinclair"
