While no definite decisioh has been <br />reached at this time as to the general solution to the congestion and traffic accident problem, it is apparent <br />from the information gathered that some relief is possible, Corrective steps will be taken as soon as factual <br />information can be obtained to support the contemplated improvements. <br />One immediate step, however, will be to re -time signals on LaSalle Avenue at Lafayette and Main Streets, which <br />should result in some relief in congestion.during peak traffic periods. <br />At a meeting Thursday, March 22, 1956, with Mr. Frederick J. Corporon, Supt. of Ways and Structures and Mr. <br />D. E. Ferner, Supt. of Transportation for the South Shore Railroad, the matter of pavement condition under their <br />jurisdiction in connection with the South Shore tracks was discussed. They assured me, as they had Mr. Andrysiak, <br />City Engineer, several weeks ago, that they would start work on this matter as soon as the money could be <br />requisitioned, which should be the early part of April, 1956. <br />EHM /f <br />Yours very truly, <br />/s/ Ernest H. Miller <br />ERNEST H. MILLER <br />Traffic Engineer <br />Mr. Smith, City Attorney, stated that the above report, which he read, was by no means a complete report. He said <br />that flasher lights would be considered and also something is going to be done on the hill below Michigan Street <br />on LaSalle Avenue. When the whole plan is ready, Mr. Miller feels that it will be a solution to the problem. <br />Motion by Councilman Kroll that the report be accepted and placed on file.
