The following report was received from the Parking and Traffic
;Commission.
"After due consideration of matters referred to the Commission .
-;by the City Council and originating within the Commission, the
following recommendations were made to the City Council at a regular
'meeting of the Commission held on October 17, 1960, at 10;00 a.m.
in the City Engineer' s Office:
1. (ITEM 100) That a "Yield Right of Way" sign be established on
Hough Park Drive at its intersection with Green Berry Road.
2. (ITEM 101) That a stop sign on West Main Street at its
:'intersection with West High Street be replaced with a "Yield Right of
.Way" sign.
'i3. (ITEM 102) That a "Yield Right of Way" sign be established on
;!Swift' s Highway at its intersection with Southwest Boulevard, to
ffect westbound traffic on Swift' s Highway.
(ITEM 103) That a request by the Missouri Osteopathic Association
for a loading zone in the 300 block of East McCarty Street be denied'r
5. (ITEM 79) . On August 15, 1960, this Commission recommended that ;
�proposals be obtained on the cost of installing an isolated type
`';four-way signal system, including pedestrian walk phase, for the
;intersection of West High and Broadway Streets. A proposal of
approximately $2,500.00 was received from the Eagle Signal Company,
;which, when added to approximately $2,000.00 - $2,500.00 installation
;(cost, involves a cost of $4,500.00 - $5,000.00 for signalization of
:;this intersection. Signalizing Broadway and High would create a
;serious problem at McCarty and Broadway, since usage would increase
;pn Broadway, only to be obstructed at McCarty. If McCarty and Broadway
�
s to be signalized, it must of necessity be interconnected with the
,Throughway intersection signal immediately south to prevent stacking
'southbound traffic across McCarty Street. Signalization of this
Antersection would involve an additional amount of approximately
;$59000.00. Until the Throughway is c ompleted and in use, very
