6n motion by Mr. Willcoxon, seconded by Scrivner.
The following report submitted by Mr. James F. McHenry, chairman 'Parking and
f the Parking and Traffic Commission was read by the Clerk. Traffic
'After due consideration of matters referred to the Commission by Commission
the City Council and originating within the Commission, the Report.
kollowing recommendations were made to the City Council at a
t.egular meeting of the Commission held on September 14, 1961:
(ITEM 152) That 20 mile per hour speed zones be established on
ttadium Drive and Swift' s Highway from Highway 54 South and Jefferson
ttreet respectively to Carter Street, in connection with a school
;one previously established.
;. (ITEM 153) That the intersections of Madison and Dunklin Streets
And Jefferson and Dunklin Streets be signalized, provided that: 1)
OR-402 controllers, manufactured by the Automatic Signal Division of
Eastern Industries, Incorporated, East Norwalk, Connecticut, 2)
Oarking be restricted on Madison Street for a distance of 100 feet
north and south of the intersection to allow for a designated left
Curn lane. These signals would be connected to the master controller
6f the throughway system, which is agreeable to the Missouri Highway '
Department. This could be done aerially. Installation (including
Ourchase price) of these signals could be accomplished for
approximately $4,500-$5,000 per intersection.
(ITEM 154) That "No Parking-Buses-Trucks-Trailers' signs be
placed in the 400 block of West Ashley and the 800 block of Deeg St. ;
4. (ITEM 155) That one-way traffic on McCarty and High Streets bet, ;een
4ackson and Broadway Streets would not, in view of the overall
Oraffic situation, improve traffic flow.
(ITEM 156) That, in regard to the matter of prohibiting parking
qn High Street between Washington and Adams Streets from 3:00 a.m.
ho 6:00 a.m. to facilitate cleaning of the street, the following is
reported: To prohibit parking on this street between these hours is
Actually to effect prohibition of parking during earlier hours in the
ivening, causing a greater desire to park on side streets in the
4ptown area. These side streets, particularly Madison Street, presents
4 greater problem in cleaning than does High Street. It is the opinion of
the Commission that the slight increase in convenience of cleaning of
the downtown streets would not justify the restriction of on-street
parking, at least until other parking facilities are available to
transient parking.
fi. (ITEM 157) That a request for a change in the parking arrangemexit
,.n the 100 block of Bolivar Street be denied. Such change would
require motorists to back into angle parking spaces. Since the
�equest is made in view of winter conditions "when the street is
Z199
Regular Meeting, September 18, 1961
covered with snow and ice" the difficulty would be compounded.
7 . (ITEM 158) That a request for 20 mile per hour speed zones be
established on Jackson Street from Russell to McCarty Streets on a
twenty-four hour basis and on Dunklin Street from Madison to
Lafayette Streets during certain hours of the day be denied. There
are no school crossings involved in this situation, but merely a
.desire to control speed adjacent to movement of school children.
Sidewalks are available in this area for use of the children.
Restriction of speed during certain hours of the day would require
moving motorists to not only observe the 20-mile sign, but to read
the hours of restriction thereon. A supervised crossing is
provided at the intersection of Jackson and Dunklin Streets which all
school children in this area not only may, but should use. To rely
on general speed restrictions to make the general area safe for
crossings at any intersection would not be realistic. The supervised
crossing should be used.
8. (ITEM 159) That a request for a 30-minute customer parking in
.the "alley betwen Monroe and Adams Streets" be re-referred to the
Council for clarification. Which of the alleys is involved?
'9. (ITEM 160) That signs bearing the words "except on Sunday" be
appended to presently existing "No Parking" signs in the 300 block
of East Miller Street.
10. (ITEM 161) That a request for no parking on Madison and Jefferso
Streets for a distance of approximately three car lengths south of
Miller Street, recommended for approval by the city Street Committee,
'and referred to the Commission "for its approval" be considered by
the Council on the basis of the report by the Street Committee. Parks
has been sufficiently restricted on Madison and Jefferson Streets
,north of the throughway intersections to allow proper functioning
of the traffic actuating devices and laning of traffic. Since
this matter was originally referred to the Street Committee for its
action instead of the Parking and Traffic Commission, the Commission.
assumes it to be more properly a matter for the former than the
latter, since present parking restrictions are sufficient for traffic
movement.
11. Yield Right-of-way signs are recommended to be installed on
Madison Street and Monroe Street at their intersections with
Capitol Avenue.
Respectfully submitted,
THE JEFFERSON CITY PARKING AND
TRAFFIC COMMISSION
James F. McHenry /s/

to the Parking and Traffic Commission, with the alley being
