We should open <br />up the intersections and penetrations of streets of the <br />Mall in two places. The intersection will virtually <br />have to be an obstacle.course to really slow down traffic <br />for the protection of-the pedestrians.. We will have to <br />urge Simonds for the treatment of the two intersections <br />so that the pedestrian will be protected at all times. <br />I will support the recommendation of Simonds and <br />Simonds." <br />President Helmen said the.moti.on is for the limited penetra- <br />tion of the Mall on_Washington Street and Jefferson Boulevard, <br />and the pedestrians are to have unrestricted use of the Mall. <br />Also the motion,is to include the acceptance of the Preliminary <br />Plans, with the amendments, and to proceed with the final plans <br />with Simonds and Simonds, Professional Consultants, Pittsburgh, <br />Pa.
