Richard Duncan and Donald V. Cline. ,The Parking and Traffic Commission met as scheduled and all members were present. The following items were discussed and specific ; recommendations were made. 1. That a stop sign be erected at the corner of Clay and Cliff. Sign is to affect west bound traffic on Cliff. 2. The request for Off Street Parking submitted by Oscar W. Smith, 1432 Clark Avenue, be disapproved for the following reasons: a. This area is in line of anticipated side walk extension. b. The area would barely accommodate three cars and construction of same on the apron of Expressway would not enhance the beauty of the Expressway. ' 3. It is recommended that parking meter plates be ordered in sufficient number to accommodate the meters in the downtown area. j This change being necessitated by recent ordinance change. Meters ,shall be inscribed denoting 51� for 30 minutes. Limit one hour and the prevailing enforcement time. 4. It is recommended that a four way stop sign at Ellis and !j Tanner Bridge be given further study before any action should be taken . 15. It is recommended that the speed limit on Ellis Boulevard be 11set at 40 MPH between the special roads district through Highway 54.x1 'Signs to be established within the city limits . 11 j�6. Recommended that sign appearing on the corner of Madison and (Capitol be changed from "City Garage" to "Municipal Parking", ; Unasmuch as this has created some confusion. i (7 . It is the Commission' s feeling that the overnight parking rate ;�of $2.40 should be maintained at present . This can be ?� ;!reconsidered at a later date. i#8 . The possibility of renting out 30 more parking spaces was discussed. It was the feeling of the Commission that there should 11be no further rentals at this particular time. At least until we 11are able to determine the maximum use of short term off street ;parking. 9 . Commission approves the purchase of an oscillating fan to be i1 !used in the attendants booth at the Municipal Parking facility. � 10 . Representative of the Rockwell Industries, manufactures of {parking meters, presented a proposal for time purchase of ,approximately 20U double headed parking meters. This proposal is Ito be considered further by the Commission. Recommendations made at a later date. {� Ul. Commission recommends that $10 .00 a month uniform allowance be granted to the attendants of the parking lot conditioned on +their providing identical uniforms and their keeping them in a neat ,! and presentable condition at all times. That uniform service be cur - 1lailed as soon as possible. (Foregoing are the recommendations of the majority of members of thisil Commission. "Meeting held on August 30, 1962, the following recommendations and requests were made: !f 11. Request for a stop sign to be placed at Miller and Cherry 1�effecting North and South bound traffic on Cherry Street, should be 11disapproved inasmuch as present "Yield Right Away" seems adequate. 112. Commission studies feasibility of purchasing parking stamps to jibe sold to local merchants set aside until such time there seems to 11be a desire on the part of the downtown merchants to demand same. 110rdered 5,000 parking stamps at the request of certain merchants and'' flmade available to the merchants throught the Collectors Office. 'j fl j3. Commission suggests that an ordinance be drawn up prohibiting < parking in the downtown area in Jefferson City between hours of 11 Regular Meeting, September 10, 1962 X5.1 2:00 to 6: 00 a.m. in order to facilitate street sweeping and snow clearance and to encourage use of parking lot for overnight parking," It is believed that this would be advantageous during the winter months when snow must be removed from the uptown area. (To affect one hour maximum metered zone . ) 4 . It is recommended that an ordinance be drawn to facilitate enforcement of traffic stops, specifically the new stop lines at major cross walks, school crossings , which have recently been painted. 5 . It is recommended that the Street Department erect a sign denoting "Cab Sign" in fron qof the Missouri Hotel, which will be i consistent with a previous ordinance and curb cut recently made. 6. It is the recommendation of the Commission that a traffic , study be made by the Traffic Division of the Police Department relative to the proposed request for "No Thru Truck Traffic" on Hough Park Road and Greenberry Road in conjunction with this, signs were to be erected at the intersection of Hough Park Road : and Dixon, and Greenberry Road and Hough Park Road. 7 . It is recommended that the Street Department erect a 20 mile speed zone sign at intersection of Isom and Hough Park Road. - 8 . It is recommended that the City request the Highway Department to erect a sign on the Expressway indicating the Expressview Drive l ramp. (turnoff) 9 . Commission has considered possibility of limiting traffic to one way on St . Marys Boulevard. It was first thought it should be restricted to West bound traffic, however, it was brought to the attention of the Commission that this would not be advantageous, ; il due to the accessibility of people residing there having a problem entering traffic on Highway 50 South as well as the fact that parking would have to remain on South side of street, therefore, an easterly direction would better facilitate matters. Inasmuch as we 't have had several objections to this change, it is fete that the traffic division of the Police Department should make a traffic study to determine the advantage or disadvantage and it is recommended that same should be made in the very near future. 10 . It is recommended that Police powers be given to parking attendants at Municipal Parking Garage . Powers to be limited to the garage premises ." Weeds . At the request of Mi .
