The total cost, excluding any right-of-way necessary, is estimated at $1,217,500. Potential assessments are esti- mated at $1,187,680.

Mr. Gordon said the right-of-way for 132nd Street is there but some slope easements would be needed. Councilmember Savanick asked what the timing would be? Mr. Gordon said this year's construction on T.H. 77 will be primarily bridge work and Galaxie will not be closed. It should be possible to complete 132nd Street to use as a detour, however it would only he used as a detour for a few weeks and that is not the major reason for pro- posing the improvements. Mr. Asleson said parts one and three of the report are mandatory for T.H. 77. The question is whether this is the appropriate time for 132nd Street to be upgraded.
