M REGULAR MEETING MAY 7, 1979 would be transferred to O'Brien Street and Brookfield Street and add to the congestion on Lincolnway West. The problem of turning vehicles would be transferred to two locations instead of one. There have been six accidents at the intersection of Lincolnway West and Brookfield during 1979.
