Whereas, The estimated cost of the installation of a traffic control signal is $100,000, and is included in the Department of Public Works traffic signal capital fund approved under Common Council File Number 161187; and

Whereas, The installation of a traffic control signal at West National Avenue and South 37^th Street is scheduled for fall 2017; now, therefore, be it
