Traffic Engineer, E. H. Miller, being present, <br />!called attention to the fact that signs have been placed, as of Thursday, May 26th, <br />setting a speed limit of twenty miles per hour on Gertrude Street. Richard Geer, a <br />'spokesman representing"°the property -owners then mentioned the unsatisfactory drainage <br />isituation, and discussion centered upon this topic. It was stated that basements are <br />frequently flooded. City Engineer, R. S. Andrysiak, and Mr. Geer were in agreement that, <br />;the installation of two culverts would alleviate and probably solve this problem. The <br />Board was in agreement to give this matter immediate attention. Discussion then proceeded <br />relative to traffic conditions and the Board directed the Traffic Engineer to make an <br />'origin and destination survey and present this survey to the Board at an early date. The <br />suggestion was offered that an .ordinance be drawn up establishing Gertrude Street as a <br />!boulevard. It wa•s pointed out that the street surf acing is very poor and a part of this <br />street has no surfacing. The group of property owners present were` unanimously in favor <br />'of the complete surfacing of this street. An additional complaint registered by the <br />'group was found to be outside the city limits. Inasmuch as this involves a health <br />problem, and the Board having jurisdiction in such matters, it was agreed the Board would <br />!render definite assistance in correcting the condition, provided,,only that the property <br />owners affected first file a petition with the County Health Officer in the matter, and <br />;provide the Board with a copy of such petition. <br />1i <br />
