Only one street is recommended to be deleted; the connection of Barbour's Cut Blvd. to North "P" Street at or near Sens Road. Staff feels there is no apparent need to connect the Port traffic to "P" Street and doesn't find any justification for the expense involved in making the overpass across the Southern Pacific Railyards.
