<br />FEBRUARY 13, 1953
<br />TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
<br />REPORT RE: CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA
<br />THIRD STREET
<br />ADOPTED. GENTLEMEN:
<br />WE HAVE EXAMINED THIRD STREET, BETWEEN WILLIAMS AND COMMERCE — •
<br />STREETS, AND REPORT AS FOLLOWS.
<br />THIRD STREET IS APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET WIDE. IT HAS A DITCH
<br />ON THE EAST SIDE NEXT TO WILLIAMS STREET APPROXIMATELY 4 FEET DEEP.
<br />AT THE POINT WHERE THIS STREET CONNECTS WITH COMMERCE STREET THE
<br />GRADE IS VERY STEEP.
<br />THE WIDTH, THE DITCH AND THE STEEP GRADE OF THIS STREET, IN OUR
<br />OPINION, MAKE IT UNSAFE AND IMPRACTICABLE FOR THROUGH TRAFFIC. WE
<br />ALSO FEEL THAT THE COST OF PIPING THE WATER AND CHANGING THE GRADE
<br />ON THIS STREET COULD NOT BE JUSTIFIED*
<br />WE, THEREFORE, CANNOT RECO14MEND THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS STREET
<br />INTO THE CITY STREET SYSTEM FOR MAINTENANCE. WE WOULD, HOWEVER,
<br />RECOMMEND THAT THE STREET BE SHAPED AND STONE PLACED ON THAT PART
<br />OF THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE FOUR HOUSES WHICH FACE ON IT, PROVIDED
<br />THE PROPERTY OWNERS ABUTTING ON THIS SECTION OF THIRD STREET WOULD
<br />AGREE TO THE CLOSING OF THE INTERSECTION WITH COMMERCE STREET, AND
<br />WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ACTION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE
<br />OF THE STREET FOR MAINTENANCE,
<br />RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
