improve a pedestrian mall as provided in subdivision (d) of Section

purpose may use the Improvement Act of 1911, the Municipal

expenditure within the city from the proceeds of any tax, license, or

expense, except as may be permitted by Section 11005 of the Revenue
and Taxation Code.

11701. A pedestrian mall established or to be established pursuant
to this part may be so improved either concurrently with the
proceedings taken under this part for the establishment of the

awarded until moneys have been fully provided for the payment of all
claims allowed pursuant to Section 11310 and for the payment of all

brought pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing at Section 11400) hereof.

Improvement Act of 1913, or any similar special assessment law, the
legislative body may combine any part of the proceedings taken
pursuant to this part with any part of the proceedings taken under
any such special assessment law, to the end that duplication of
ordinances, resolutions, notices, hearings and other acts or
proceedings may be avoided.
