City officials said bid invitation plans and specifications will be filed with the city by the county around July 1 for extending Redondo Avenue from Pacific Coast Highway to Spring Street. The project, estimated at 300000 dollars, will be county supervised with up to 65000 dollars contributed by the county. Right of way has been largely acquired and the Alamitos Land Company donated a 20th Street to Hathaway right of way strip. The city will pay several thousand dollars to oil companies for removal of their pipelines at Reservoir Hill, and a realignment south of the coast highway is postponed due to higher right of way costs from an oil boom.
