ADOPT the MND. ADOPT the MMP which is incorporated in the final IS/MND (MMP-1 to MMP-6). SPECIFY that the documents constituting the record of proceedings in this matter are in the files of the Department of Public Works Bureau of Engineering, Environmental Management Group and the Bureau of Street Services located at 1149 South Broadway. APPROVE the Project as described in the IS. Fiscal Impact Statement: The BPW reports that the Project cost is approximately $85,000,000.
