Gentlemen:
The Mayor's Parking and Traffic Committee has carefully reviewed the location
of parking meters in the central business area with the purpose of determining
if some areas should be eliminated from the metered zone or if the metered zone
should be extended to cover additional areas. In conjunction with this survey,
a review of the areas in the central business district where angle parking was
still permitted was undertaken to determine if it was feasible to eliminate all
angle parking in the areal.
There was no recommendation to eliminate parking meters from any of the
blocks in which they are presently installed. It was respectfully recommended
that parking meters be installed in the following blocks on thestreets and
avenues indicated:
