To: The Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Jefferson Subject: Report and Recommendations of the Parking and Traffic Commission. Gentlemen: The following constitutes a report of the regular meeting of the Parking and Traffic Commission, held at 8: 30 am, April 9, 1968. The Commission makes the following recommendations to the Mayor and the members of the City Council: 1. The Commission recommends that Clay Street between McCarty Street and West High Street be made one way southbound in lieu of the recommendation made by the Commission at its previous meeting that the street be made a dead-end street. 2. The Commission recommends that Beck Street from Southwest Boulevard to Williams Street be made one way north-bound. 3. Pursuant to recommendation No. 8 in the March 1968 report, the City Engineer had traffic counts taken at West Main, Dix Road and Boonville Road intersection. These traffic counts and other information were sent to our traffic con- sultant, Norman Schemmer. Based on the recommendation of our traffic consultant, the Commission finds that the traf- fic flow does not warrant either a four-way stop sign or a traffic control signal. Due to the heavy traffic from 7: 30 to 8: 30 a.m. , the Commission recommends that a patrolman be at the intersection to direct traffic during this period. The Commission further recommends that the intersection be widened to accommodate left turn and right turn lanes. 4. The Commission recommends that the intersection of Tanner Bridge Road And Ellis Boulevard be modified to improve the sight distance at the intersection. After this modification is accomplished by the street department, the Commission recommends that the stop signs on Ellis Boulevard be re- moved. 5. The Commission recommends that the stop signs on State Street at Monroe Street be removed. 6. The members of the Commission have asked the Secretary together with the City Engineer and Captain Patton to re- view the federal law to see if Jefferson City can qualify for a federal grant to PL 89-564 for traffic commission work. The Parking and Traffic Commission will hold a public meeting in the City Council chambers on May 1, 1968 at 7:00 p.m. . At this time any persons desiring to bring up any complaints concerning the parking and traffic in Jefferson City will be heard, Respectfully submitted, /s/ Michael P.
