[ President Coolidge reached a "wise decision in going into the midi@le west to dedicate the Peace Monument on Armistice day at Kansas City. The gossip is general in Washington that he is particularly anxious to see the country further:west and also southâ€" west, and it would not be surprising if he made such, a journey at the first opportunity. The reconvening | of congress of course, inevitably holds him in Washington now, but it has been hinted that at the latest he will make the trip in the eatly springâ€"a trip which is to be supplementâ€" ed by his on to spend ;: sumâ€" mer vacation in the far w n counâ€" try. He is not at all insensible of the natural desire of the people to see him and hear him in person, and he has expressed his distress at times that the toutine in Washington deâ€" nied him the mtuni“!: to make trips which he felt are properly a part of the.obligations of his office. ; "The factors which have resulted in an increase in the concentration of traffic demands affect pedestrian trafâ€" fic to practically the same degree that they affect wheeled traffic,‘ continues Mr. McClintock. | "Therefore any city that is considering plans for traffic relief should not overlook sidewalk pedestrian traffi¢ as a part of the larger problem of relief. Moreover sidewalk traffic has a very important bearing upon business, especially that e litricfi. doT:flq:;l no small of a retail d to no extent upon,the convenience and comâ€" fort which shoppers experience in goâ€" ing to and from shop to shop." Jaywalkers i Although every city or community seems to have its quota of jaywalkers who run across roadways in the midâ€" dle of the block thus slowing up veâ€" hicular traffic, the survey has found ‘that practically every city in the Chiâ€" cago area has an abundance of still another type of '&:dkm This is the ‘individual normal moveâ€" ment along a sidewalk is a es of dodges and jumps, not always ‘sucâ€" cessful to avoid collision with other pedestrians. The operations of tm walkers are good examples ¢ pedestrian â€"traffic‘ utilizes tgwnl'k space in a very ineffective manner, says the survey which urges that all foot traffic follow the fundamental rule of the road, "keep to the, right," a procedure that would greatly inâ€" crease the comfort:and capacity of the sidewalks. Although the strict enâ€" foreement of such a rule would be imâ€" possible in any community, much benefit might be anticipated If cities and towns would put on an educationâ€" al campaign to drive home the keep to the right rulé. n | PRESIDENT MAY MAKE ANOTHER TRIP WEST In conducting its study of traffic e en y mm mentpers sidewalks and on the It found ‘that fatt:ntely most of the business streets of Chicago neighâ€" comparatively broad s Howâ€" ever, even with this retarâ€" dation of. movement | and . inconvenâ€" dence is making itself felt due to pedestrian traffic congestion. ‘© Check Pedestrians > : To get authentic evidence on this point Miller McClintock, the director of the Erskine Bureau for Traffic Reâ€" search who dirécted the Chicago surâ€" vey, checked the pace of pedestrians on typical loop streets. As a result Chicago knows for the first time in its history how Tast its citizens move over the ‘concrete sidewalks in the central business district. During the free hours of the morning, says Mr. McClintock, walkers step along at a speed of 3.16 miles per hour. : But later in the day congestion reduces this spted to 2.81 miles per hour. A% gurveys . as ~conâ€" ducted by n cities usually deâ€" vote the most pom to vehicalar problems the problem canâ€" not be ‘overlooked, says the: street traffic committee of the Chlug Assoâ€" ciation of Commerce which is about to complete its $50,000 survey of trafâ€" fic in the Chicago automotive region.
