If approved by property.owners in that area, the street would remain at 62' for a short di.stance north of Court and then narrow to 45'. This would allow room for a left turn lane onto Court Street. He cited approximate costs to the City.in the event the street was narrowed and reit erated that there would be parking strips which would be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain. Mr. Ajax suggested that questionaire type notices be sent to each owner on the street to get their input as to wider or narrower streets.
