about how these ADA improvements will greatly enhance his ability to use public
transportation.Staff researched the possibility of moving the start date of the project from

of the proposed reallocation of project funding by the City Council,CDBG documents will
be submitted to the CDC for review and approval.If approved,the project may start in
March-April of this fiscal year ..
