The City Engineer reported this matter was considered by the City Council previously and was referred to th CBDAC for recommendation. The Safety Commission rec- ommended posting a one-way entrance at the(souther1y end of the alley to eliminate a hazardous vehicle movement. A possible 'alternative-would be to elimi- nate parking on Elm Ave. adjacent to the alley. The one-way would extend from the northerly curb line of Elm Ave. to a point 60' to the north. The property owners and*businesses were contacted' on Elm Ave. between State St. and Roosevelt 'St. and they are definitely opposed to giving up any parking spaces. e Cmn. Chase stated he met with members of the CBDAC an they indicated they would prefer eliminating the two parking spaces on Elm Ave. Also there is a proposed parking lot being considered, and he would dislike taking any action that would hamper the parking lot. 1 The possibility of making the entire length of the alley one-way was discussed, and the City Engineer pointed out this could cause a problem with some of the businesses located on Roosevelt St. whose propert backs up to the alley.
