'The are between the "D" Street"'Brid'ge"and downtown has been an area for service businesses of a wide Variety. :The',, following conclusions have been drawn from the - . information gathered for this document: 1. The potential,f6r historicera archaeological deposits in the project area is t high. All of the. residential structures on Blocks 2,. 3 and 4 have potentially left significant archaeological deposits from their period of occupation.
