This order for reconstruction of walks on both sides
was brought before the Council in 1962 on the basis of complaints
and the general downtown sidewalk restoration program requested
by the downtown business community. At that time deletion of the
east side from the order in* was considered by the Council but
after discussing the matter the Council discontinued the entire
order with instructions to the Public Works Department for further
study and consideration by the Council at a later date.
In December of 1962 the Traffic Bureau made pedestrian
and vehicle'counts on this street. The results are as follows:
Vehicle count - 707/ 24 hours
Pedestrian Count -
7&15 to 8:15 -
12&00 to 12145
4 :15 to 5 :15
East side of street

West side of street

Because of the poor and hazardous condition of the existing
walk, and the appreciable traffic and pedestrian movements, the
$ econstruction of these walks is recommended on the same basis
as other deteriorated walks in the downtown area and elsewhere.
It is, proposed to reduce the present 6 foot widths to 5 feet.
The Department of Finance has studied the matter.of assessments
and benefits on this project and is expected to have a report
for hearing.
