Lincoln Road. Police Chief Don Edwards commented that a survey was done of the
area. The report shows a lot of traffic congestion when school lets out. Also when
events go on at night. The city's ordinance requires the roadway to be 18 feet when
parking is allowed on both sides of the street. Because of the `S' curve the roadway goes
to 15 feet. Each resident was talked to about having no parking for the North side within
500 feet of the `S' curve, due to the safety for the children as they would not have to
cross the street. None of the residents objected to this safety issue. Was suggested by
Alderman West to have a time limit for the `no parking.' Police Chief Don Edwards said
it could be 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
