<br />APPROVAL OF TRAFFIC CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS (PRAIRIE & INDIANA AVENUES
<br />Mr. Ralph J. Wadzinski, Manager of the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting,
<br />submitted a report concerning the restriction of a right turn on
<br />red on Prairie Avenue, south approach, at Indiana Avenue. The
<br />State Highway Commission was requesting the restriction because of
<br />inadequate site distance on the south approach due to the close
<br />proximity of an existing building to the right -of -way in the
<br />southwest quadrant. Mr. Wadzinski recommended Board approval.

<br />APPROVAL OF BROADWAY CHRISTIAN PARISH FOOT RACE - NOVEMBER 1, 1980
<br />It was noted, that, at a previous meeting held on July 28, 1980, the
<br />request of the Broadway Christian Parish for a foot race on November
<br />1, 1980, was denied because of the extent of the race and major
<br />intersections to be crossed which would have necessitated a need
<br />for excessive, additional manpower. Further discussions had been
<br />held between the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, the Traffic Division
<br />of the Police Department, and officials of the church in an effort
<br />to come up with a modified and acceptable route. Mr. Ralph J.
<br />Wadzinski, Manager of the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, advised
<br />that the following route had been established, and he recommended
<br />Board approval:
<br />The run, which will take place on November 1, 1980,
<br />at 10:00 a.m., will start at the Broadway Church
<br />(Broadway and St. Joseph Street) and proceed west
<br />on Broadway to Franklin; south on Franklin to
<br />Ewing; west on Ewing to Gertrude; south on Gertrude
<br />to Chippewa; east on Chippewa to Main; north on
<br />Main to Ewing and west on Ewing to Rum Village
