, Page 2- May 3, 1967 Mr. Limpert, Chairman of the Transportation Committee, reported they have met with Fairview on the proposed fare changes. The original plan to raise only the cost of passes did not, when studied, provide sufficient additional money to purchase new buses and still provide for increases for the drivers and mechanics. The new rate schedule will be submitted to Council for study. It would be for a five cent increase on regular fares, in addition to an increase for passes, and is planned to be effective July lst. Mr. Eian, Chairman of the Safety, Health and Welf.are Committee, reported they still have the parking problem around St. Brendan's church in com- mittee for study, with various solutions being proposed. They have studied a traffic control map, as submitted by the Safety-Service Director, which includes a map of the control devices and their locations. They will request legislation to adopt the map. After studying the extension of the left turn and storage lanes on Lorain, the Committee recoIInnends an extension from Dover Road west to McKenzie. A possible extension from Dover Road east to Ranchview or Bailey is still under discussion. In the abeence of Mr. West, Mr. Limpert reported on the Finance Committee meeting. They decided to ask for legislation authorizing taking bids for three new police cars; decided to ask for legislation authorizing taking bids for installing approximately 1700 feet of 66" culvert pipe in Sands Subdivision, for a maximum cost of $11,000; decided on the installation of street lights 9 as follows, subject to recommendations of lighting experts, 3 on Bradley, 4 on Evergreen, 3 on Christman and brighter lights at Gessner and Lorain and Walter and Lorain. They also approved repaving Burns and Porter south of Midvale at a cost of approximately $8,150. The Clerk read a letter received from the Lawson Milk Company commending our police on their work in picking up the Lawson burglars. Mrs. Thomas Reitz, 5398 Columbia, asked what the legal procedure on the initiative petitions filed with the City would be after the signatures were verified, and whether the petition would affect Mr. DiBenedetto's application for building permit. The Law Director advised that Council has forty days in which to verify the signatures and take action. He also stated the petition would have no effect on Mr. DiBenedetto's application. Mr. Frank Pinkham, 6595 Barton Road, referred to a petition presented to Council from Bretton Ridge Home Owners, asking that the interchange for I-80 be moved to Barton and Bradley Roads. He stated his reasons for believing the route over Barton would not serve as well as the Stearns Road route, and questioned Council's proposed action in asking the County to consider Barton. a.?a?,.:. . .. _ .. ... . . .. . ... .. .. . ... . . ... .. . . .... :s,'?.*??6?.._ :.. .. . .. ... . ..w'.,w.., ,,?wo?s.?.?.., m?? ?, x?.;H sat?.W-?d. ? .. -Ma., ea?a='+?E
