<br />I; investigation and report.
<br />The Board then examined a petition, under date of Sept; -ter 8, 1954, submitted by
<br />.;Carl Engstrom, 2002 Swygart Street, for the vacation of alley between 1926 South Swygart
<br />„Street and 2002 Swygart Street, and this was referred to the City Planning Commission
<br />for investigation and recommendation.
<br />• A letter was received from the City Planning Commission regarding petition to
<br />;vacate alley between the 1300 and 1400 blocks between East Sunnymede Avenue and East
<br />;Wayne Street South, stating that no action was taken on same at their meeting of August
<br />5th as the description was incorrectly drawn, and the Clerk of the Board was directed
<br />'to return the petition for correction.
<br />Messrs. Ralph Cripe and Joseph Carson appeared before the Board in complaint of a
<br />.practice of narking double and triple in front of their place of residence on the north
<br />side of Mishawaka Avenue immediately west of Twyckenham Drive, when public affairs are
<br />:being conducted at the John Adams High School. These gentlemen stated that on such
<br />;occasions, which are frequent throughout the school year, they find it impossible to
<br />get in or out of their private driveways. Traffic Engineer, E. H. Miller being present
<br />• ;advised that the same difficulty is contended with on Mishawaka Avenue from. the G.T.W.
<br />Railway viaduct to Eddy Street, and he is confident the problem mill be solved by the
<br />'marking of parking "stalls" at a 4.50 angle, and this will be put into effect as quickly
<br />,;as possible.

<br />`'decision of the Board, however, to hold the matter in abeyance until a thorough study
