ALTON RINN, 4621 Marlow Avenue, and a group from Marlow Heights appeared requesting that Kleberg Lane be reopened. The City Manager reported that Kleberg Lane could not be reopened in the same place as it was and that he and the Director of Public Works had been out there to see where the best place would be. A permanent route would require the building of a bridge. A temporary route could be opened by using a wooden bridge that is now in place, but this would be more winding and longer. An alternate plan would be to go ahead with the permanent route and move the wooden bridge to this route and use it until the bridge could be built. The money for this bridge is not in the budget for this year. The matter was referred to the Director of Public Works to let Mr. Rinn know what is going to be done. The Mayor recognized MR.
