Report of the Traffic Committee:
56 -3 -1T The Committee has been studying conditions on Chorro Street for sometime and has
noted the rising frequency of accidents at the corner of Lincoln and Chorro and near misses
at other intersections. There were three property damage accidents at Lincoln and Chorro
during 1955, and there have been two injury accidents causing three injuries already in 1956
After careful consideration, the Committee recommends that stop signs be placed at the fol-
lowing side streets protecting Chorro:
Both directions on Lincoln at Chorro
Both directions. on Mountain View
Both directions on Center
Stop westbound traffic at Venable
Both directions on Mission
Stop westbound traffic on ;Vest
Both directions on Meinecke
Both directions on Rougeot
Recommendation of the Traffic Committee was adopted and the City Attorney was ordered to
prepare a resolution setting up these parking signals on moation of Warren G. Edwards,
seconded by Kenneth W. Jones.
56 -3 -2T In response to a letter request from Harry Lacterman which is on tonight's agenda
the Committee has studied the feasibility of a crosswalk adjacent to the pedestrian walk- '
way running from parking lot number 2. The Committee has studied this very carefully and
finds that such a crosswalk would be very close to the Garden Street intersection which has
two crosswalks already. Such a crosswalk in the middle of the block would definitely
interfere with traffic and might confuse motorists to the point of endangering pedestrians.
It is recommended that this request for an additional crosswalk be denied. Recommendation
of the Traffic Committee was adopted on motion of Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by Warren
G. Edwards.
