On Frebruary 26 , 1973 , Council had authorized engineering studies associated with this pro- ject be expanded to include possible alternate routes , due to environmental considerations . Project is to be constructed under a joint powers agreement between Redwood City and the City of San Carlos . Report by the project engineer concerning the alternate routes had been presented to San Carlos City Council on April 9 , which adopted Alternate Plan No . 3 , subject to concurrence by City of Redwood City . George E . Cook , representing the firm of McCandless , Boone & Cook , consulting engineers , was invited to review the four alternates . Mr . Cook described Alternate #1 as essentially following the present lines of the creek, but was the proposal which would necessitate removal of approximately 100 eucalyptus trees . Estimated cost was $372 , 000 . Alternate #2 , he said , was found to be a very difficult alignment because it would go right through the residential area , caus - ing public inconvenience , and would involve ex- tensive utility conflicts . This bypass would be routed South on Stafford Street to F Street , East on F to Lenolt , North on Lenolt to G , East on G to Industrial Road , then North to join the existing channel . Cost was estimated at $529 , 000 exclusive of rights of way costs . Alternate #3 would be a partial bypass , rejoining the existing creek down- stream of the Edison School . Alignment would be North across the front of the Edison School , easterly parallel to northerly side of the School property , then joining the original creekbed 500 feet East of Old County Road . Several eucalyptus trees would have to be removed, but this proposal would save the majority . Utility conflicts would be minor , and cost was estimated at $330 , 550 , ex- clusive of right of way costs . Alternate #4 would be more of a complete bypass of the creek from Old County Road to Bayshore Freeway . This pipe culvert would be almost completely in San Carlos . There would be serious utility conflict , and estimated cost was $476 , 500 , excluding right of way costs . 4/16/73 Reg . Mtg .
