To the Honorable. the Mayor and Common
Council of the city of Grand RAPIDS:
Gentlemen-Tne petition OF 5. Wesselus and
others. asking that the roadway OF South La
fayette street, between Blakely and Fifth ave
nues. be narrowed in order 10 save shade
trees. etc, and the remonstrance OF Joseph
| Penny and others against narrowing said
street, were transmitted to the board; upon
examination We find that South lafayette
street is only coz feet IN width that tie
double track of the cable railway occupies =
feet the sidewalks Il feet, AZ each side. Leaving
l
the curb line for the passage ofteams. In the
judgment OF the board the narrowing OF the
space for general travel. would be iHjudcous
and we decided against the prayer Of the Pc
tit.oners asking for change iB the improve
ment. The Board OF Public Works has
not required the grading OF the side
walks OF South Lafayette street for the
reason that said walks are in good condition,
and are Substantially on the grade as estab
/ lished. We find. how :yer. that on The west
side OF the street. the sidewalks are paced
from one and enc-half feet 70 three feet from
/ the lot line. and the lawns have been filled and
sodded TO the sidewalks.
Also. that the fences on some lots are from
! one-half 10 two feet in the street. The a.
/ tenfi1n OF your honorable body scaled 20 tl.
situation. In order thai sters msy be taken L
I protect the right of the city N the streets
By order Of the Board.
