That parking be removed from the south side of South "E" from 9th to 10th, and that
the traffic lights at South 8th & "E" and at South 9th & "E" be synchronized so as
to allow a better flow of traffic that is east and west bound.
The Board unaminously recommended a street light be placed on NW 8th Street between
'lichmond Avenue and Peacock Road.
City Controller Wilson reported that "Walk" and "Dont Walk" lights are in the process
of being installed at West 1st and Main Street for the use of north and south bound pedestriands.
City Engineer Deuker said plans were being formulated for a better flow of traffic onto

discussed the placing of overhead lane indicators at this location.
