Council Considers Parking Change at Busy Green Drive Post Office Block
City engineers urge banning parking on Green Drive near the post office to widen lanes and ease crashes.

Council balks, citing post office patrons' convenience despite prior 1964 3:30 to 6 p m parking ban and ongoing violations.
