This concern led to a petition 25 amongst the residents to remove the State Aid classification from Sunnyside Street. She 26 requested an update from staff on this issue. Public Works Director DeBar explained the 27 roadway would remain a Municipal State Aid (MSA) roadway and was discussed in further detail 28 by the Council in December of 2011. He indicated the City can designate 20% of its roadways 29 for State Aid funding. The consequences of not designating this roadway MSA would greatly 30 increase the cost of the project. It was estimated the MSA Funding for Sunnyside Road in the 31 project area would be $450,000. 32 33 Mayor Flaherty thanked the residents for raising their concerns with the design of Sunnyside 34 Road.
