That this matter 'was discussed in January, 1962, by the Committee, the Superintendent of Public Works, the City Engineer, a representative of the Algonquin -'Lee Merchant's Assn. and the shopping center's developer. The outcome of this meeting was the recommendation that the Algonquin driveway become an entrance only to eliminate the blockage and that both ingress and egress be allowed at the other driveways (on Lee Street). 20 1.3 6/4/62 This suggestion seemed to be viewed with favor by all present and the merchants' representativeagreed to place this before his group. Although the Committee has not been contacted formally, it understands that the idea met with favor when presented to that group. We, your Committee on Streets and Traffic, there- fore recommend that shoe no action has been taken by the shopping center, develop- er and the merchants association, that they both be notified that unless they take action to make the Algonquin driveway pattern that of entrance only, the City (within 30 days of this report) will place a "No Exit" sign in the parkway thereby eliminating this part of the blocking problem and that the developer and'merchants association be notified in writing by the City Clerk.

Further, that the City officials involved have brought this to his attention on a number of occasions and received assurances from the developer that the required paving would be done. The latest such promise was made in March when the developer stated he would commence paving as soon as weather permitted - no such paving is in evidence. We, your Committee =Streets and Traffic, therefore recommend that the City make arrangements to pave the north side of Princeton from Wolf Road to Eighth and Wolf Road (east side) fromiPrinceton north as far as the subject property runs and that a lien be placed against the property for the entire costs of the paving and all related expenses borne by the City in accomplishing this work.
