'The City of Des Plaines desires a comprehensive traffic survey and study with
detailed recommendations as to how its traffic problems might be solved. It is
the hope to eliminate or lessen congestion at certain times in certain areas
by improvement of the traffic flow; to safeguard pedestrians and motorists from
traffic hazards and inconvenience, as much as possible. It is realized certain
streets may have to be made one-way, that the on -street parking pattern may have
to be revised and an endeavor made to get more off-street parking 'and to elim-
inate through traffic from down -town streets.
As mentioned above, a comprehensive study is desired - covering the whole
City and certain fringe areas, including sections adjacent to the City which
are or will be affected by toll -roads, express -ways, and/or State; and County
roads, present or contemplated. The Survey should set up a realistic
circulation plan for the present and for the foreseeable future. ,It should
show various routes and indicate location of proposed rights-of-way.
Of pressing importance is need for "relief'from traffic congestion and confusion
in our central business districts. Traffic -flow plan should be recommended,
one that might include the diversion of through traffic from the business area,
and the creation of one-way traffic -flows. Consideration should be given to
the parking, problem, in both down -town andother bhei.ness enrFctlrn=0 4tR.tinn
areas, with emphasis on a downtown plan, present and future,13bearing in mind
through highways, C&NW right-of-way, and lack of adequate parking'space. What

Alderman McKay made the following report:
With reference to letter from Chamber of Commerce dated July
certain street parking:
3, 1958, concerning
Insofar as the change from diagonal to parallel parking on Pearson between
Miner and River Road, this was done on direction of Supt. of Public Works at
the time of recent similar change on pearson southerly from Ellinwood due
to a misunderstanding on the part of the Supt. The latter change was
authorized by the Council, the former was not. However, in the judgment
of the Streets and traffic Committee the change between Miner and River Road
is beneficial and it is recommended it be approved at this time. As far as any
change in miner Street parking between Pearson and Graceland from diagonal to
parallel and also any elimination of parking on Lee Street between Prairie and
Thacker, these items are not under serious consideration at this time, and
we hope to hold decision until we have had the benefit of traffic 'survey.

Commerce, basing his letter on the above report.

WIDEN THACKER STREET AND STORM SEWER. Alderman McKay made the following report:
In April of this year the Council agreed to the following proposal on
recommendation of the Streets and Sewer Committees:
"Widen Thacker Street from River Road west and install a storm sewer in
Thacker from the River to Mt. Prospect Road. A big job, which could be
done in sections, scheduled judiciously. Engineer Fletcher believes we
can justify use of MFT funds for a 36 inch sewer from River Road to First
Avenue, 27 inch to Fourth Avenue, down to 15 inch to Mt. Prospect Road.
Plan to install the sewer from River Road to First Avenue starting this year,
estimated cost $140,000.00. The pavement widening and resurfacing from River
Road to First Avenue would cost as estimated $85,000.00 and could be set
up for 1959."
The Engineer now feels it would be wiser to figure on a 48 inch from Des Plaines
Avenue (River Road) to Lee Street instead of a 36 inch to First Avenue, and
which because of the shorter distance in spite of the larger diameter pipe
would cost the same as the original estimate of $140,A00.00. If this change
is approved the overall cost of the project will of course be increased
by the cost of a 36 inch sewer between Lee and First Avenue. It might
be borne in mine too, that the cost of the widening and resurfacing from
River Road to Lee Street should cost less than the estimated $85,000.00
for the widening and resurfacing job as far as First Avenue which according to
the above—quoted recommendation could be set up for 1959.
It is recommended that the change as suggested by Mr. Fletcher be approved.
