Councilman Miron reported the Safety Committee recommends that parking
be restricted to 15 feet from crosswalks or stop signs at intersections in
residential areas. By allowing vehicles to park right up to the crosswalk
limits, there is poor visibility, especially when trucks park in this lo-
cation, and accidents have resulted because of this hazard. The matter was
discussed by the Council members. It was felt that the problem was not a
serious one and did not warrant the expense of either painting the curb to
restrict parking or the expense of erecting signs.
