Recommendation:  That the Council move to authorize the Engineering Department to proceed to Phase 2 of Project No. 06010, W. Drexel Avenue design (1^st & 2^nd Aldermanic Districts).

Background:  The City entered into contract with R.A. Smith & Associates to provide engineering services for the reconstruction of W.
