Traffic Captain Scott Loper presented the following letter to the Board: October 11 , 1973 Board of Public Works and Safety Mr. Jerald J. Judge, President Dear Board Members: The traffic division would like to make the following recommendation. We are recommending that a Stop Sign be installed at the intersection of Ft. Wayne Avenue and North 6th Street on the northwest corner of the intersection. Ft. Wayne Avenue was recently converted to a one-way street for north bound traffic and an island installed on Ft. Wayne Avenue to channel traffic. A recent study of the intersection indicated there is some confusion as to who has the right of way (north and south bound traffic) when entering the intersection. To eliminate the confusion, we feel southbound traffic on Ft. Wayne Avenue should come to a complete stop before turning onto North 6th Street. This would also reduce the chances of a southbound vehicle running head-on into the island. Sincerely, /s/ Scott Loper, Captain Traffic Division Mr. Judge moved to instruct the Traffic Division to install a Stop Sign at the intersection of Ft. Wayne Avenue and North 6th Street on the northwest corner of the intersection, seconded by Mr. Burton and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried. 1 2 0 Board of Works Minutes October 11 , 1973 Page 2 Mr. Burton moved to accept recommendation of Traffic Captain Scott Loper for additional parking stalls to be added at the following locations, seconded by Mr. Judge and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried.
