he did agree that any opening there should be limited to access only.
Mr. McGoodwin questioned whether anyone with the City had checked the
size and design of the drainage structure. He felt that the City should
write that in as a permanent water course in releasing the alley. He
• asked that a memo be forwarded_fo�the City Manager requesting that the
Board study this matter carefully to see that the facility is adequate
in design and capacity before the alley is closed. He felt the whole

the right to rebuild it or increase it.

parking and traffic flow, and screening along Locust Avenue.,
