TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Hollywood Park plans street repair program City Council was expected to consider acting on a long-range street maintenance program at its regularly scheduled June 20 meeting. In a May 23 public forum, city engineers unveiled a report that included a review of Hollywood Park pave- ment conditions, which had been conducted in late March, and a proposed multiyear program for potential minor and major road projects. City Secretary Patrick Aten said council would use its June 20 meeting to vote on a prioritized program.
