the City of Livonia, the Master Thoroughfare Plan, so as to change
the designation of Curtis Avenue between Inkster Road and Harrison
in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 12, from an 86' right-of-way width
to a 60' right-of-way width.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand, seconded by Mr. Scruggs and unanimously adopted,

the City of Livonia, having duly held a Public Hearing on August 12,
1975 for the purpose of amending Part I of the Master Plan of the
City of Livonia, entitled "The Master Thoroughfare Plan", the same
is hereby amended so as to change the designation of Curtis Avenue
between Inkster Road and Harrison in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 12,
from an 86' right-of-way width to a 60' right-of-way width, for the
following reasons:
5870
(1) There is little likelihood that future development would warrant
the need for a collector road in this area for the reason that
this neighborhood is already fully developed with only a few
undeveloped, scattered lots remaining in the area.
(2) The area which this collector road would serve is already
fully developed and has been functioning from a traffic stand-
doing reasonably well without benefit of a Curtis Road in this
location.
(3) This amendment is merely a change of designation of Curtis Road
in this location from that of a half-mile collector to that of
a local street and whsn implemented, Curtis Road will still be
a benefit to the neighborhood by way of a more direct route to
and from the major mile road as this amendment is not to elim-
inate Curtis Road.
AND, having given proper notice of such hearing as required by Act 285
of the Public Acts of Michigan, 1931, as amended, the City Planning
Commission does hereby adopt said amendment as part of the Master
Thoroughfare Plan of the City of Livonia which is incorporated herein
