Mr. Munkel noted that the availability of monies from other sources might account for the change. John Cross, 6847 Raymond Avenue, had photographs distributed and requested resolution of problems at a bridge on his street where children now play. Mr. Sharpe requested that the City Manager and staff examine the situation at Raymond and Purcell and report back to the Council with recommended solutions.
