He noted that another important area in this project is <br />bridge construction because we may be forced to elevate a part of <br />the road and we want to be able to get it engineered as <br />inexpensively as possible. Commissioner Lyons emphasized that <br />during the interviews, these firms were told that we are looking <br />at the practical problem of overcoming the objections of the <br />people in order to get that road built and built right the first <br />time, and that it is going to be a 4 -lane divided roadway. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />25 <br />JUL 2 1986 Boor 6 F,,u 8o <br />
