Mr. Jerald J. Judge, President
Dear Board Members:
The Traffic Division would like to make the following recom-
mendation. We recommend that the South East Island in the
West Municipal Building Parking Lot be changed to two hour
parking. (8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. except Sundays and Holidays)
This would enable people that had business in the Municipal
Building convenient parking and enough time to conduct their
business.
This is the island located in the South east end of the parking
lot, which is now signed "Public Parking". This includes 18
stalls on the west side and 18 stalls on the east side of this
island..
At the present time, these spaces are occupied by persons
working in offices in the building and some employees of the
Wayne County Court House.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
/s/ Richard Shoemaker
