Former Gathered together on a special Mr Marshall Johnson Your committee on the Ravinia section make the following report 1. We do not recommend the inâ€" stallation of Parking Meters on and Dean Ave. is too narrow for diagonal parking and two way trafâ€" fic. caid for business and school parkâ€" ing. ~It is â€"bad when P.T.A. and other school functions are held. 5.

Ravinia Section needs more police supervision as violations oc cur every day. hk t h Pa III Report of Parking in Dist ricts Outside of Business George R. Stone, Chairman Andrew Beck _ , E. L. Gitroy _________.__ _ 1. Elm Place School. Suggest the construction of an "off street" parking area at the east end of their playground which is located just west of Sheridan Road. This area would not bessen the usefuiness of the playground and would provide an area for their teachers who need to park their cars all day. 2. Highland Park High School. Has an excellent "off street" parking space north of school buildings. 8. Green Bay School. Appears to have adequate area for all day parking within the school grounds. 4. Parochial School. This school and church recently purchased property to the west of their school and church. ‘A modâ€" ern "off street" parking area has commended for theirâ€"eivic spirit and foresight in purchasing "off street" parking area and then building an adequate parking‘strip. 6. Lincoln School. Discussions for further safety measures have taken place reâ€" cently between the Traffic Comâ€" mission and the Lincoln Ave. P. T. The most ideal location for "off~ street" parking is the ‘property just north of the Lincoln school. We realize that the purchase of this property by Dist. 108 Board of Education would be expensive. The following . suggestion made by Mr. Don Berry, Directot: of .Traffic â€" Division, Nati ‘ Safety Council which would aid all day parking at the Lincoln School. The Board of Education 108 should attempt to obtain permis~ sion from the East Park District to use a small piece of ground, %oâ€" cated at the south west corner of the intersection of Lincoln Ave. and Glencoe Ave. The use of this piece would in no way effect the usefulness of the playground. An entrance eould be constructed on Glencoe Ave. and an exit on Lincoln Ave. Approximately 20 cars could be parked in this area. 6. Braeside School. There is adequate property in the school property to construct an "off street" parking area. This is particularly #rue of the north west corner of their property. At this school, the heaviest traffic will be found on Lincolnwood Ave. We suggest "no parking" signs be placed on Lincolnwood Ave. for that portion of road parallel to the west side of the Braeside School property. w Provision should be made of the area between Waukegan Ave. and North Shore R. R. Tracks for "off street" parking. Parking is now taking place in this area by motor® ists who patronize the stores and taverns in the south part of Highâ€" wood. As no provision has been made for a parking area, we found holes in ground, 18 inches deep, 10 to 15 feet in diameter. In our judgment, the city should either construct a parking area at this point or close off the area comâ€" 7. Waukegan Avenueâ€"South limâ€" its of Highwood. _ EP32 Church area. 8. Presbyterian Churchâ€"Episcopal At present time, all traffic proâ€" geeds east on Laurel Ave. during the church hours on Sunday mornings. At 12:15 noon when traffic moves away from this area, much of the traffic is tied up in a knot. In order to correct this ‘Mnm.ufldh following procedure. _ C _ A. On Sunday mornings from $ AM. to 1 P.M. all traffic on 7. Widen Pleasant Ave. both (Continued from page 1) out South from Central Ave. to Hazel may proceed west on Laurel or and eastâ€"orâ€"westâ€"from Lindenâ€"in this congested area. 9. Parking on Parkways. On one inspection trip, lasting 1 hour, we counted approximately 75 tion of the traffic ordinances. We found no part of the city immune may proceed west on Prospect or east on Prospect. By the above methodâ€"all trafâ€" mend a continuing educational program plus enforcement of the traffic ordinance in order to cor rect this situation. IV. Report of Committees on Parking Meter Machines. _ Philip E. Cole Ernest A. Belmont « This committee is not ready to make a firm recommendation as to the Parking Meter Machines. All companies making a meter maâ€" chine would be given an opportunâ€" ity to submit a bid. The first task willâ€"béâ€"th@â€"decision which will ef fect the selection of an automatic or a manually operated machine. This committee has sent out 60 questionnaires to various Uity Clerks throughout the country whose cities have Parking Meter Machines. The information from these sources should be very valâ€" uable in arriving at aâ€"properâ€"deâ€" cision. > The Parking Committee believes that the City and Citizens should press forward and enact certain measures to help solve our parkâ€" ing problems. We realizs that as long as Highland Park continues to grow that parking problems will continue to increase. From the above reports, it is essential that the city acquire "off street" parkâ€" ing areas either through purchase or lease. It is also essential that our churches and schools should strive for a solution of parking space, either on their own prop> erty or through purchase or lease of parking property adjacent to ther institutions. The growing tendency of motorâ€" ists throughout the community to park or half park on our parkways indicates that enforcement of our traffic ordinance needs strengthâ€" ening. We must look forward to the enlargement of our Police D& partment so that they will have more men and equipment to adeâ€" quately patrol our large area of 13 square miles. It will be necessary to do two things before full information reâ€" garding the number of parking meters: SUMMARY â€" > The Parking Committee has sinâ€" cerely endeavored to propose cerâ€" tain recommendations ‘which will benefit all of the citizens of Highland Park. The population of our community continues to grow and the number of vehicles 1. It will be necessary for Mr. Cole and Mr. Beck to determine the number of meters that could be placed in the area as recomâ€" mended by the Central Ave. Busiâ€" ness Committee. 2. Mr. Berryâ€"Director of Traf® fie for National Safety Council suggests that we make a survey and observation of traffic in this area. We believe this survey should be made.
