IMPROVEMENTS O F SIXTH S T R E E T IN CHAMPAIGN (28) The city of Champaign, in accordance with the Major Street and Highway Plan for the Champaign-Urbana Area, is planning to widen and resurface South Sixth Street from its present width (36 feet) to 44 feet from curb to curb, from University Avenue south to Armory Avenue. With the University participating, the City will extend the improvements one block to Gregory Drive. The University owns 23.01 per cent of the property frontage on Sixth Street from University Avenue to Armory Avenue and all the frontage, including the street, from the center line of Armory Avenue to Gregory Drive. T h e improvement will include the widening, the resurfacing, the installation of modern street lights, a new bridge on the Bone Yard Creek, traffic signals at Armory Avenue and Sixth Street, and sidewalks and other construction related to the improvements. The City is proceeding with this project under the assumption that the University will share in the costs of the improvement in accord with the following estimates: 1. For that portion of the project from University Avenue to the center line of Armory Avenue, including the traffic signals at the latter intersection, in accord with the ratio of University property frontage to the total property or 23.01 per cent of the cost of the total project $ 85 000 00 2. For that portion of the project from the center line of Armory Avenue to the north curb line of Gregory Drive based on 100 per cent University ownership 45 000 00 Total $130 000 00 Funds are available in state capital appropriations to the University for 196567 and have been released. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute an agreement with the city of Champaign for the University participation in this improvement on the basis of the above estimate and that funds be assigned for this purpose.
