Traffic Committee report of December 11, 1957. 57 -11 -1C
(Second comm.) "At the request of the City Council, the Traffic Committee has met with
Councilman Kenneth 11. Jones again on the matter of additional parking meters on Garden,
Pacific and Morro Streets. After some study, the committee would recommend that two
hour meters be installed on both sides of Garden between Marsh and Pacific, both of
Pacific between Garden and Morro and both sides of Morro between Marsh and Pacific. It
is felt that the shopping needs of the community require these additional restricted space
The committee still feels that the green ten minute free parking zone along side the
Post Office on Morro Street should be left intact, that the last two spaces on the east-
erly side of Morro at the corner of Marsh be painted red to allow for turning movements
of north bound traffic on Morro and that the two existing ten minute green zones directly
in fron of the Telegram - Tribune building be changed to twelve minute parking meter zones.
It is also recommended that the loading zone alongside Long's Piano Company be extended
one parking space to the intersection of Marsh Street."
"Because of the mixed residential character of the streets involved it is strongly
suggested that the.Council set this matter for hearing and publish•.a notice in the paper
so that residents in the area will have a chance to be heard on the subject. However, if
the Council is not in favor of the proposed parking meter zones, there would be no need
of having such hearings." The City Council will hold a public hearing on this matter on
on January 6, 1958, at 8:00 P. M.
