2. The Commission recommends the elimination of angle parking on
the east side of the 700 block of Jefferson Street between
Dunklin Street and Ashley Street.
� 3. The Commission recommends that Clay Street at McCarty Street be
made a dead-end Street. The Commission requests that the City
Engineer contact the Highway Department about the possibility of
creating a cul-de-sac at the end of Clay Street where it inter-
sects with McCarty Street at the expense of the Highway Depart-
ment.
4. The Commission requests that the City Engineer obtain traffic
counts of the left and right turning movements on Beck Street

hours on the east side of Broadway Street from High Street north.
6. The Commission recommends that parking be prohibited on the
north side of West Main Street from Boonville Road to West Circle.
7. The Commission recommends that the request for the elimination of
the stop sign on the south lane of Madison at Atchison Street be
rejected because the stop sign is necessary as a safety factor due
to the short sight distance at that intersection.

traffic counts on the West Main, Dix Road, Boonville Road inter-
section to Norman Schemmer, Traffic Consultant, and that he re-
quest that the traffic consultant give us a recommendation prior
