He was not in favor of 5-laning any road in the <br />county, but in the interest of protecting the public, he wanted a preliminary redesign and with that <br />they can address the other streets. <br /> Public Works Director Jim Davis said 27th Avenue is on the 20-year Capitol <br />Improvements Element scheduled for the year 2011. <br /> <br />th <br /> Tim Zorc, 4415 5 Place SW, <br />questioned Attorney Collins and Mr. Keating <br />rd <br />on how the 43 Avenue project can be removed from the plan since it is currently funded. He <br />thought they were putting the cart before the horse asking for a redesign before they change the <br />Comp Plan. <br />NOVEMBER 16, 2004 29 <br /> <br />
