Olive Street, and is requesting closure of these two crossing during the renovation and installation period. 1) Olive Street from January 31 to February 8, 1994 - 9 days of closure. 2) Laurel Avenue from . February 10 to February 22 , 1994 12 days of closure f r RECOMMENDATION If Council concurs, staff recommends the following: 1. Approval for closure subject to a public notification period of at least twice within a 10 day period within a local publication. 2. Advanced posting of notice at both locations for public that travel routes regularly. Notice to be posted 7 days in advance of the closures.
