Changes in
Grid System
May Come Up
Further Elimination
Of "Legs" Expected
At Council Monday
Changes in the one-way grid sys
tem, including further amputation
of "legs" probably will be proposed
at the City Council meeting Mon
day night. ' '
Under consideration are restor
ation of two-way traffic on those
blocks of High and Cottage streets
between Marion and Union; also
those blocks of Court and Ferry
streets between Commercial and
Front.
All of these are now one-way
blocks extending beyond the actual
grid and intended to make entrance
into and exit from the grid less
hazardous. However, it is believed
that a freer flow of traffic ' will
result if the "legs" are eliminated
as was done on South Church
street.
Also before the council Monday
night will be a resolution, intro
duced by Mayor Al Loucks a
month ago and tabled for further
consideration, which on one-way
streets would reserve the lane
nearest the curb for vehicles mak
ing left or right turns, as the case
may be, on streets having four
traffic lanes.
Another resolution having to do
with traffic will be introduced . by
City Manager J. L. Franzen at
the request of the Traffic Safety
Council. It would prohibit parking
at all times on the east side of
15th street between B and D
streets.
