(3) Motcriist5 will make illegal turns, inten- tionally or unintentionally, unless barriers are present. 45 Minutes of June 16, 1976, continued Mr. Ronsko pointed out that it is the consensus of police officers who were polled on the sub- ject that these problems can be alleviated only through the use of cement dividers or similar barriers in place of the double -double lines. A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff by the Council. Mayor Hughes stated that the removal of the barriers was a test and that he felt that the test had not proven positive as far as going ahead and taking the balance of the barriers out.

Mayor Hughes seconded the motion. Councilman Katnich requested that the proposed recommendation be presented to Council in writing and that the recommendation include more specific terminology and that it also include types of alternates and costs. Public Works Director Ronsko then stressed that it would be his recommendation that the raised concrete median on the east leg of the Lodi Avenue and Hutchins Street intersection be replaced.
