Walk Signs Study Initiated by City Council
The City Council asked Mayor Dillon to start a study on installing walk and dont walk signals at major intersections. The Traffic Commission recommended the study after Councilman George A. Parnell noted he first urged such devices in 1962. Parnell said the requirement may become statewide and proposed a phased program to manage costs.
