Others present - Director of Public Works Ed Rackers , Chairman of Parking & Traffic Commission, Mike Riley. Members of West Side Business Association and Members of Missouri State Highway; ;!Department. Riley explained reason for suggesting the removal of parking: , �l. Studies showed that it would increase traffic by 33 1/3%. �I2. The narrow parking area on the shoulder is a hazard to both the parked car and the oncoming traffic. 3. By removing the traffic on North Side it would adapt for setting up and making left turns . It would help to control traffic `' in an easier manner. 4. It would give us talking point with the Highway Commission in ' improving this most heavily traveled part of their system. Mr. Riley further explained that it would cause hardship for only about four (4) businesses in the 1200 block which have no parking area except the right-of-way and also Westlake Hardware in the 1000 block. It was noted that Westlake do have a parking lot ! so this would be no problem for them. He further noted that there is no parking or parallel parking ! on the south side of Missouri Blvd, at this time. The head-in 1i parking observed is on the area of the abutting property owners . !j Much discussion followed. Member of the gallery speaking 1! were Mr. Bode of the 1200 block who expressed concern if the parkin was removed in this block. Ralph Kalberloh, from the Greater J.C. !!f Committee, spoke in favor of removing traffic and suggested that ; the two-year period would give ample time for those who face the i problem of no parking to work it out. A member of the Highway Department spoke in favor of removing ;� the traffic to help the flow of traffic and help to better control it. Bud Duncan called to the attention of the Committee and interested persons the fact that Missouri Blvd. should be considewdl: a shopping area and the need for fast moving traffic should not be s( the important factor. It was called to the attention of the Committee that the City's Parking and Traffic Commission was to meet with the members of the West Side Business Association on this matter Tuesday, 7 p.m,1 May 30, 1972, at the Central Motor Bank. It was suggested by some of the Council members present that may be a plan to leave the parking in front of the 1200 block be worked out and go ahead with the removal on the balance of the north side of Missouri Blvd. �! It was finally decided that it would be best to take no actiar on the Parking & Traffic recommendation until after they meet with the West Side Business Association.
