BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Economic Development, Public Works, and Parks, Recreation and Community Services Departments have been working together for the last several months to repair and replant the medians located at the intersection of Zanja Avenue and Washington Boulevard due to a series of vehicular accidents. The project is jointly funded by the City and the West Washington Benefit Assessment District #1, relative to electrical repair and ground replanting.
