ANNE'S provide a loading zone fox -parents picking up students. SCHOOL There have been traffic problems with parents double parking to load or unload their children, particularly RES. NO. 2860 on Church Street. City Manager Glaves recommended that ADOPTED a passenger loading zone be established on the east side of Pleasant Avenue from 1.7alnut Street south to the alley. Then instead of stopping on Church Street the parents could turn into the alley adjacent to the school grounds, drive to Pleasant Avenue and pick up their children in front of the school. He felt such a loading zone would be adequate if the parents cooperate. Since Pleasant Avenue is a narrow street there would also be an advan- tage in having one side of the street free of parked cars. The Council concurred in the recommendation and on motion of Councilman Dow, Culbertson second, adopted Resolution No. 2860 establishing a passenger loading zone on the east side of Pleasant Avenue from Walnut Street south to the alley.

City Attorney Mullen said such an ordinance would simplify the enforcement of regulations which otherwise would have to be enforced by going to general laws. Councilman Culbertson said he was a little perturbed in that the proposed ordinance leaves too much to the judgement of the Public Works Director. He felt regulations should be more specific. City I+ianager,Glaves countered that specific rules would not be flexible enough and that the City is growing to the extent .that more responsi- bility should be delegated to the administration. Councilman Brown also felt the ordinance would leave too much to the discretion of the Public Works Director, Councilman Culbertson said it should not be too difficult to spell out the regulations in the ordinance. After further discussion it was moved by Councilman Walton, Dow second, that consideration of the proposed ordinance be continued to the meeting of October 6. The motion carried unanimously. The Council discussed the matter further, coming to no conclusions except that a public hearing should be held and those in violation notified of the hearing.
