Revised plan of the traffic study commission for parking and traffic flow for the area in and around the Southern Pacific Station and Calirornia Street was presented with accompanying blueprint. The plan provided for change in bus stops on Winklebleck Street and for the addition of bus loading'zones on the Southern Pacific platform. Parking meters are to be added on the east side of California; the driveway into the parking lot on California Street will remain unchanged; Winklebleck Street will become a one way street from California to El Camino Real, the traffic flowing from east to west; left hand turn will be permitted from the Southern Pacific Sta- tion to Broadway. It was also recommended that one hour parking meters be installed on the southwest side of Perry Street and to enforce the no parking ordinance in effect on the northeast side of Perry Street. Mr. R. F. Martin appeared and*stated it would be necessary for him to have eight parking spaces on Winklebleck Street during the rush commuter hours in the morning and evening. It was decided that these spaces could be reserved for the bus company during the rush hours and allow parking there during the day in metered spaces. The revised plan as submitted was generally approved by the Council and Councilman Armstrong offered resolution instructing the proper administrative officials to erect the proper traffic signs and markings to put the Traffic and Safety Commission's plan into effect and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilman Werder. On roll call, resolution was unani- mously adopted. City Manager Blom advised that the Police Chief had suggested a stop sign be placed on the station driveway leading to Broadway to avoid a hazard with pedestrians.
