~Xs 4 Lr A November 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 35 SURVEY TELLS US HOW FAST WE ARE WALKING Pedestrians in Chicago Region Have Fault of Dodging Too Much, One Learns Although traffic surveys as conduct- ed by American cities usually devote the most attention to vehicular prob- lems, the pedestrian problem cannot be overlooked, says the street traffic committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce, which is about. to com- plete its $50,000 survey of traffic in the Chicago automotive region. In con- ducting its study of traffic conditions in Chicago and adjacent suburbs the committee made a number of interest- ing investigations of pedestrian opera- tions both on the sidewalks and on the roadways. It found that, fortunately, most of the business streets of Chi- cago and neighboring communities are supplied with comparatively broad sidewalks. However, even with this ad- vantage, retardation of movement and inconvenience is making itself felt, due to pedestrian traffic congestion. To get authentic evidence on this point Miller McClintock, the director of the Erskine bureau for traffic research who direct- ed the Chicago survey, checked the pace of pedestrians on typical loop streets. As a result Chicago knows for the first time in its history how fast its citizens move over the concrete sidewalks in the central business dis- trict. 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 speed to 2.81 miles per hour. "The factors which have resulted in an increase in the concentration of traffic demands affect pedestrian traffic to practically the same degree that they affect wheeled traffic," continues Mr. McClintock. "Therefore any city that is considering plans for traffic re- lief should not overlook sidewalk pedestrian traffic as a part of the larger problem of relief. Moreover sidewalk traffic has a very important bearing upon business, especially that of re- PE -- Fresh Eggs This is the lean season for fresh eggs.

Although the strict enforcement of such a rule would be impossible in any community much benefit might be anticipated if cities and towns would put on an educational campaign to drive home the "keep to Washington Drapery Co.
