In response to several questions, Mr. Hoffman clarified that residents with addresses on W. 44th Street would be assessed one-third for the side yard; that driveway aprons up to the sidewalk would be included as part of the street project; and that even though there are areas which are in good condition it is preferable to do a complete replacement rather then to patch deteriorated parts only.

No further discussion being heard, Member Bredesen's motion authorizing the improvement, but without sidewalk replacement on Browndale Avenue, and with the understanding that residents would be contacted for approval of sidewalk replacement on Brook Avenue, was seconded by Member Turner.
