Traffic Light Plan Stalls City Traffic Move
City council deferred the stop and go traffic light at East Speedway and North Park to the traffic commission for further study after pleas from business leaders and property owners. Abbie Holesapple argued police handling is better for crossing children while George Houston urged the light to relieve snarls. J M Hubbard floated WPA paving and sidewalk help. The council also approved maps for Homeland addition and Vista del Pueblo, renewed an option on East Broadway lots, prepared a lease for Hudgins Air service concessions, authorized charter amendments, and extended weed-cutting powers to the fire chief. Council will act on quarry operations near A mountain at the next meeting.
