Mr. George Envall, Traffic Engineer, presented his report as follows: "Reference is made to City Council meeting of June 22nd regarding proposed restriction to parking on both sides of Walnut Grove north of_Klingerman. This matter was held over in order..that Council could view location. discussion, it was moved by Councilman Pike, Councilman Andersen, and carried, that the recommendation be approved.Counciiman Hunter voted Mr. William UeVilla, owner of 2408 Walnut Grove Avenue, addressed the Council stating there are four automobiles in his family with only two parking spaces available on the property, and therefore he is strongly opposed to this restric- tion. Mr. Tom Hervey, 053° Artson Street, requested that consideration be given to a mid-block cross- walk on Walnut Grove between Fern and xlingerman. There being no objections, this matter' was referred to the Traffic Commission, There are two properties involved on the east and west sides of subject street. One of these properties face Klingerman; the other three front on Walnut Grove. Field movements have indicated that only these four residences are affected by the proposed restrictions. The reason for said restriction: is to traverse both northbound and southbound traffic from the widened section to the south, and the narrow section to the north. In order to'-provide a smooth transition, it is necessary to len;then out a transition stripe so that traffic will not be moved over too rapidly. With the present left turn pocket provision'within the widened section this compounds the transition distance. At the time of this widening a right turn off-set was placed for southbound traffic, this to provide ease of movement into the Edison off-street facility. As noted, a fire hydrant is presently in place near the north property line of premise 2403. This would normally restrict a 30 foot section by vehicle code. It is believed that without the transition striping, any vehicles parked within the proposed restriction would create an accident potential to free flowing traffic. It is further believed that parking demands are not critical and any parking required on-street: could be moved north of the restriction. It is pointed out that garages for the resident parkers are provided to the rear, off the alley-way. It is therefore recommended that signs reading "No Stopping At Any Time" be placed on both sides of Walnut Grove from Klingerman Street to the north property line of premises 2408 and 2409, it is believed this will provide protection not only for the moving vehicles, but also to the resident vehicles on the street. As noted, striping will be continued to Garvey Avenue after con- struction phase is completed between Fern and Garvey." Following second by foregoing Nay. Page Four C/C 7/13/71 9.

Attorney Keeler stated he was requested to review the Agreement between Modern Service Co, and the City to determine what action, if any, need be taken by the Council with regard to the rate increase declared by Modern Service in their letter dated June 16, 1971. Subdivision D of said Agreement provides for rate adjustments based upon changes in the cost of living as reflected by the Consumer Price Index, In this regard, the Agreement is self executing, and no formal action by the Council is required to approve the rate adjustments, Modern Service has complied with the terms of the Agreement relating to price adjustments by filing a timely notice of rate adjustment to become effective October 1, 1971.
