need of updates, including general clean-up changes for consistency purposes, updates
to traffic indices, and minor changes to adhere to the City's General Plan.

control plan reviews for Utility purveyors by the addition of a new section entitled
"Acceptable Traffic Control Plan (TCP) Standard Drawings for Utility Companies" to the
standards.

are met.
