Discussion of the congestion created`by the parking in the center of the street at Fifteenth and Holliday, and the need of the traffic signal at this location. Moved by Pat Halverson that whereas the volume of traffic thru the intersection. of Fifteenth and Holliday is not sufficient to warrant signalization, and whereas undue hazard and congestion is created by the presence of the vehicles parked illegally in the center of the street, that the traffic signal be removed and the parking ordinance prohibiting parking with the wheel of the vehicle further than 18" from the curb be enforced at this location.

Discussion of the accident problem at Kell Blvd. and Polk St. It was moved by Ralph Morgan that since the high incidence of accidents at this location is not amenable to enforcement, it appears that only design can solve this problem and therefore we recommend to the Board of Aldermen that a median be installed on the center line at this intersection to run from approximately 150 feet east of the intersection to the end of the present median, in order to prevent illegal turns from Kell Blvd. unto Polk Street and from Polk Street unto Kell Blvd. Seconded by E.
