Ralby and Ralby-Alien Real Estate Partnership to restrict vehicular access to Jefferson Street at S.W. 28 Street on a 6-month trial basis. The temporary restrictions were accomplished by the installation of barricades and signs. All work was accomplished and paid for by Leonard A. Ralby and Ralby-Allen Real Estate Partnership. After the fifth month of the six month trait period had elapsed, Leonard A. Ralby and Ralby-Allen Real Estate partnership sent letters to all 256 affected property owners soliciting their approval or disapproval for construction of permanent barriers. The results received by the Public Works Department are 98 approvals and 38 disapprovals of the request to make the vehicular restrictions permanent. Leonard A. Ralby and Ralby-Allen Real Estate Partnership have satisfied all of the requirements of Resolution No. 87-518 and are under no obligation to continue the restriction of vehicular access of Jefferson Street. The same group of property owners that have previously requested the vehicular access restrictions along Aviation Avenue and S.W. 27 Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and Andros Avenue are now requesting that Jefferson Street at S.W. 28 Street be barricaded permanently based on the results of the survey conducted by Leonard A.
