R. S. Andrysiak Frank J. Bruggner Irving J. Smith There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was ad journed at 10:55 A.M. (DST). Attest: C erk APRIL 17, 1956 A special meeting of the Board of Public ;'Yorks & Safety was held Tuesday, Ap- ril 17, 1956 at 2:00 P.M. (DST). The following persons were present; Mayor Edward F. Voorde Irving J. Smith Raymond S. Andrysiak Frank J. Bruggner Anthony J. Sabo Ernest H. Miller Clem Hazinski J. Charles Dutrieux Robert Huff Peter Beczkiewicz A. G. Thernstrom, Grand Trunk Railroad 10,'. Luckadoo, Grand 'Trunk Railroad Bert-Gadacz, N.J.; Indiana & Illinois D. B. Ingold, N.Y. Central J. F. Prosser, N.Y. Central C. L. Nolan, N:Y. Central L. C. Chapleau, Attorney Tyr. Farabaugh, Attorney Irving J. Smith, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 2:00 P.M. He then introduced Mayor Voorde. Mayor Voorde thanked everyone for being present and then discussed the overall ''problem of the Sample and Olive crossing. He also suggested the possibly of moving the .railroad yards west. The Mayor then introduced Ernest H. Miller, Traffic Engineer, who displayed ichants drawn from the results of the survey he had taken on March 7th and 8th at the Sam— ple -Olive Streets Crossing. This chart showed the peak hours of traffic and the amount of time trains blocked the crossing. Mayor Voorde then introduced Captain Hazinski, of the Traffic Division. Ca.p- tain Hazinski explained the result of recent 2-year study of increasing number of accidents ,in the immediate area of the Olive -Sample St. crossing. Reason for increase is traffic using surrounding streets to avoid crossing the tracks at Sample and Olive Streets. Mr. D. B. Ingold, Superintendent of the New York Central Railroad Company ex- plained that moving the yards west would interfere with U. S. #20. Also, if the railroad' iyards were moved out 10 miles, cost of operating would be too great. More time would be i needed for moving purposes. Mr. A. G. Thernstrom, of the Grand Trunk Railroad Company agreed with D/ Ingoldts statement. Mr. Thernstrom feels that Grand Trunk is not responsible for the traffic hold:' up at Sample -Olive Street crossing and he does not feel that there is sufficient space toil locate switching yards between Olive Street and Mayflower Road. .
