Lutes is an architect and con sulting engineer who took part in planning the event held in late August of this year. Lutes gave a brief introduction to a 30-minute colored sound film and answered questions on the project after the film. He said the move was made as an experiment and would not be repeated unless it is to be a permanent program. Lutes said the city had considered a number of solutions to parking problems and most require four to 10 years to put into effect. Costs of the off-street parking problems are beyond the reach of a community similar to Springfield, he added. The blocked off "mall" section of Main st. was only three blocks long, he said. The normal high way traffic on the route was moved over to the next street during the 10-days, he said. Lutes told the group a one-way couplet system was then set up between the north bound and southbound highway streets. Parking on the one-way streets was made diagonal rather than parallel, giving more parking, he said. Drivers found the new route about three to five minutes fast er by making the trip on the side streets, which included sev eral right-angle, turns, rather than treveling through the main shopping area. He noted only one accident was recorded dur ing the period while under the normal street plan three could have been expected for the same period. Lutes said business in the mall area picked up about 14 per cent during the 10-day period but sales fell in the areas out side the mall. He noted several large shopping centers three to five miles from the downtown section shSwed little change in business. The mall was landscaped and merchants moved some items in to the street area for display, he said. Merchants from outside of the mall displayed cars, boats, equipment, etc., he added. In connection with the 10-day trial he said several companies sent displays and exhibits to the area. Stores Remain Open During the period stores re mained open until 9p.m. each evening, shows were presented nightly and a heavy sales pro motion program was held, he said. Lutes said the merchants in the mall area had subscribed to slightly more than $3,000 in construction for the event. State highway department of ficials okayed the move of the highway for the period, furnish ed signs and placed center lines on the by-pass route. He said the local power company placed lights upon the by-pass signs and municipal services also helped in construction of the areas. Lutes said the major reason for conducting the 10-day trial was because of the loss of busi ness by the downtown mer chants. He said Springfield has about one-third the amount of business as other cities in the state of the same size have. Other methods of luring shop pers back to downtown areas are beyond Springfield and the street vacation plan was the only solution, he added.
