MAYOR
Mayor Morgan inquired about the cost of moving a 4-way light to another
location; the lights at 4th and National City Blvd. and 16th and National
City Blvd. are not necessary, and perhaps they could be used elsewhere
in the City. Director of Public Works Williams said the poles, lights
and controllers could probably be moved, but it would be costly to move
the underground wiring, etc. Mr. Williams suggested the Mayor might
want to consider the 4-way light at 30th and 'D' which was put up as a
temporary. Councilman Dalla spoke of the traffic light at 18th and 'L',
saying it seems to be over -engineered for that intersection. Moved by
Van Deventer, seconded by Morgan, this (the 4 traffic signals referenced
above) be referred to the Traffic Safety Committee. Discussion. Carried
by unanimous vote.
Mayor Morgan spoke of his memo regarding street improvements at 19th and
Cleveland (Fessman). Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, the
