SAFETY COUNCIL'ETT'ER: The Clerk read the following letter. "The Safety Council
at its May 9th regular business meeting discussed at' length the delay of the
ONE WAY SYSTEM -for Lee Street and Gracfland Avenue.
"It was felt that we should go on r ecord as opposing any d elay of the one way
system as approved by the state and that an effort should be made to at least
put part of the plan into operation as soon as possible.
"It was recommended that a study should be made if funds would be available for
a part of the light system at less than a $100,000 would not be workable. The
balance of the program could be put in as funds were made available. '
"Another suggestion in an effort to move traffic was to use additional police
to direct traffic on Graceland Avenue for one way program.
"The cost of lives and injuries in accidents are uppermost in our thoughts but
of equal importance is the economic loss to our citizens, our business people
and the city of Des Plaines that traffic snarls create.
"The Safety Council recommends that every a ffort'shoe be made to shorten.the
delay of the ONE WAY SYSTEM." /s/ Walter J. Wieser, President."
