Harry A. Barnes of Denver told Baltimore Mayor Thomas D Alesandro that the city has a fairly adequate street system and that traffic problems are solvable and not too costly. His month long study urged new signals, banning trucks on major one way routes, parking meters, possible elimination of street cars, impounding illegally parked cars, restricting left turns during peak hours, and a rewritten traffic code.
