2'74 RESOLUTION NO. 98~ 039 PAGE 2 both sides of a portion of Bristol Street between McFadden Avenue and St. Andrew Place, including the referenced portion of Bristol Street, to add an additional lane in each direction. The location of the Project is planned in a manner which will be most compatible to the greatest public good and the least private injury. Providing six travel lanes will significantly improve the vehicular traffic-carrying capacity and movement efficiency for this heavily traveled arterial.
