REPORT OF TRAFFIC ENGINEER Members of the South Bend Common Council City Hall South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: April 13, 1960 On Monday, April 11, 1960, at a regular Common Council meeting, a motion was made by Councilman Tellson that a study b.e made by this,.department to determine the need for a loading zone at the Central Public Library. A study indicates that a loading zone, in the true sense of the word, is not needed as provisions for loading have been made at the rear of the building. Installation of a. loading zone would. mean the elimination of several much needed parking spaces. Two of these spaces are of the 12 minute type for the convenience of library patrons. Also, past experience shows that loading zones for passengers are not patronized, but rather used by motorists to load or unload from the traveled lane so as to not be inconvenienced by maneuvering in and out of that zone. A loading zone is not recommended. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Clem F. Hazinski Clem F. Hazinski Traffic Engineer CFH /f Councilman Lehman made a motion that the report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Ladewski seconded the motion. Motion carried. Councilman Tellson made a motion that the matter be referred to the Traffic and Trans- portation Committee of the Council for study. Councilman Muszynski seconded the motion. Motion carried.
