<br />The Board first gave consideration to the improved parking facilities provided
<br />for the residents on East Indiana Avenue,between Miami and Leer Streets, and certain
<br />commercial enterprises on Miami Street in the vicinity of the Indiana Avenue intersection,
<br />and the more efficient tr affic signal operation at this intersection, due to the recent
<br />conversion of East Indiana Avenue, from Miami to Leer Streets to one-way traffic.
<br />Councilman Walter C. Erler,being present in protest, was assured that the improvement
<br />in parking facilities being afforded through both sides of the street being made avail- i!
<br />able, will more than compensate for any inconvenience caused the 9% of Indiana Avenue
<br />traffic formerly west bound over this section of Indiana Avenue. Traffic Engineer, i
<br />E. H. Miller, being present, was directed by the Board to eradicate, as quickly as
<br />possible, all yellow paint from curbing, which is now to be made available for parking.
<br />City Engineer, R. S. Andrysiak, being present, informed the Board in regard to
<br />complaints that Street Department vehicles, equipped with redlight flasher device, are
<br />operating these flashers when in motion, contrary to rules. The Board directed the
<br />Clerk to bring this violation of rules to the attention of Street Commissioner, H. M.
<br />Tomlinson.
<br />A red light flasher device, proposed for use at the intersection of McKinley and
<br />Greenlawn, as a warning sign to traffic when the fire apparatus is leaving Fire Station
<br />No. 14 in response to an alarm, was demonstrated to the Board by Traffic Engineer,
<br />E. H. Miller. It was suggested that a "try -out" installation should be made of this
<br />type of warning device at this location, with a view to additional installations being
<br />made where needed in the event the trial operation proves successful. Superintendent
<br />Ira Hunsberger, of the Electrical Department, also present, was directed by the Board
<br />to proceed with the installation.
<br />At the request of Chester Copp, Chairman of the Seal Sale for the St. Joseph
<br />County Crippled Children's Society, the Board advanced the date of permit for the
<br />annual Easter Seal sale, -originally set for April 4th.to April 9th, there being no
<br />conflicting commitment.
