The owner of Newport Lexus proposed relocating the traffic signal controller cabinet at

Construction costs continue to escalate beyond historical levels and the low bid is
higher than anticipated. The funding for the project was to have been a 50 -50 split
between the City and Newport Lexus. Newport Lexus has advised the City that the
unexpectedly high bid has caused them to reconsider. They do not consider it a
