He stated Mr. Melander attended the budget session to express the residents request for the soundwall. He advised there is an item in the budget which allocates $145,000 for the beautification of West Las Positas Boulevard; perhaps this could be appropriated toward a soundwall project on Foothill Road if deemed necessary by Council. He stated a soundwall cannot be built until Council puts it in the Capital Improvement Program. Mr. Donald Bevard, 7974 Hillsboro Court, stated there is need for a sound- wall because of cars crashing into back yards along Foothill Road; there is need for a sturdy wall. 13 - 4-19-88
