REPORT from the Traffic Engineer concerning parking on East Iron Avenue, near
Marymount College (referred at the meeting of November 2, 1970). The City Engineer

there have been only 5 accidents during the period of June 1968 to the present, and those
were not due to parking or slippery pavement. A motion was made by Commissioner Yost,

REPORT from the Traffic Engineer concerning Petition Number 3138, which was

at the meeting of November 9, 1970). The City Engineer reported that 37.5% of the owners
signed the petition with about an equal number on each side of the street. The City Engine�r
feels there are other streets in the area that are just as narrow, and could not recommend
"No Parking" on this street only. Mr. McCabe mentioned that he had just heard the church
