NEWS RELEASE
Thursday, March 10, 1966
For some time there has been speculation concerning the status of CATV in Richmond.
This speculation apparently has been stimulated by the recent advertising and solici
tation campaign by 1 of 4 present applicants. The Board of Works has no control over
any solicitation campaign.
We should like, however, to make it perfectly clear to those who are. being asked
to subscribe now for CATV servide that no franchise for CATV has been issued by the
City of Richmond. It also should be clear that under the law no franchise can be
issued until a public hearing by the Board of Works and confirmation by Council. A
public hearinm is now scheduled for 10:00 a.m. March 24, 1966 at which time all
citizens and applicants will be heard.
There has been no rejection or approval of any apolicant. There are presently
4 applicants and there may be more. Until a non-exclusive franchise agreement or
agreements are issued by the Board of Works and approved by Council, no one is in a
position to deliver the intended service.

Board authorized the Clerk to report the complaints to the City-County Plan Director
for a report of his findings with-in the next three weeks.
Captain Stout and Sergeant Martin of the Traffic Division requested the following
changes be made on the streets of Richmond.
8.2
1. That -parallel narking 'of vehicles•replace the right angle narking that- now exists on
the west side of the 600 block North 15th- Street and- .also. prchibit:'fthe parking in
two parking spaces on the Southeast corner of North 15th and "F" Streets. The
Kemper Brothers which will be effected have no objection to this change. Mr. Keller
moved the Board concur in the request and further the area be properly posted with
signs, seconded by Mr. Jameson and on voice vote was carried.
2. The Traffic repartment after a lengthy study of the flow of traffic between North
"A" and Main Street on North 8th Street now recommends -that the parking be prohibited
on the west side of 8th Street in front of the Y.M.C.A., which includes three parking
spaces, on Fridays only from the hours of 3:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Mr. J. K. Wolfe, of

3. The Traffic T1 ivision recommended parking be prohibited under the 9th Street over-
pass bridge in the 400 Block of North 9th Street between all the piers. The present

tion of the Traffic Division and further the area be properly posted with signs. This
motion was seconded Joy Mr. Jameson and on voice vote was carried.

between North It and Main Streets, it is now recommended the removal of parking space
on the west side of North 7th Street in front of No. 14, which is the establishment
Of Kenny and Bob's. The traffic that flows in a southward direction would have
much more space when approaching the intersection of 7th and Main Streets. Mr.
Robert Murray, Owner of the establishment, has been contacted and. did not object.
Mr. Keller mewed the Board concur in the recommendation of the Traffic Division
and further the. area affected be properly posted with signs. Mr. Jameson seconded
