The invocation was given by Councilman Lemon. The minutes of the regular meeting of March 23, 1964 were approved as read. In accordance with action taken by the City Council at their regular meeting of March 23, 1964 and the passage of Ordinance No. 509, for-the regulating of parking on certain arterials, it was MOVED by Munger, seconded by Kurbitz that Ordinance No. 510, relating to and fixing the time for part time parking restrictions on both sides of Lincoln Avenue from 24th Avenue to 40th Avenue on Both sides of Tieton Drive from.16th Avenue-to 42nd Avenue, be passed-as read: carried., Brazier, Kurbitz, Larson,' Lemon, Lynch, Munger and Robinson voting aye on roll call. Before the vote was taken on this motion, the matter was discussed with Mr. Bradley Emery, 419 South 18th Avenue, who protested the passage of the ordinance explaining that the City Council'is already pledged to provide 4 lanes for traffic on these arterials on a 24 hour basis as the result of the 1962 Bond Vote and by not makin them 4 lanes of traffic they are forgetting the majority °of the community who voted for the bonds and the widening of the streets as set forth at that time. He pointed out that.Tieton Drive is now carrying more traffic since it has been widened and that it will carry still more when Montgomery Ward has mooed to it's new location. Councilman Robinson indicated that there is much truth in Mr. Emery's statments, but-that there is no traffic count or other information to indicate that a two lane street will not be sufficient for the present, explaining that this is an experiment, recognizing the needs for parking where there are no alley, or driveways into private property in the area. He further indicated,that as soon as it is found to be necessary, he will be in favor of putting these streets back on full time four lane basis. Councilman Brazier indicated that he does-not believe that any pledge is being broken, but that, this system must be tried, and that he will be the first to support a ban of parkingif this plan fails. He also emphasized that he is reluctant to make regulation just for regulations sake. Councilman Lynch also indicated that he felt this system must be tried. Councilman Munger in- dicated that he believes that these streets should be four laned full time traffic and suggested hat traffic counts be made. Councilman Kurbitz t2 t -io4�ied the possibility of the formation of * ** L.I.D's for the construction of parking lanes on other arterials.
