Minutes of the December 1, 1969 regular City Council meeting.

be done to close down the showing of "Infrasexwn" at the Gothic

the current movie and other "X" rated films at the Gothic is for
the public not to patronize the establishment.

ing "X" and "R" rated movies.

City Manager Dial presented a report concerning the
widening of South Broadway to provide additional parking at the
intersections of Broadway and Oxford, Broadway and Mansfield,
Broadway and Kenyon, and Broadway and Dartmouth. Mr. Dial indi-
cated that Mayor Schwab, Director of Public Works Waggoner and
himself had met with the interested parties recently.
Mr. Kells Waggoner, Director of Public Works, appeared
before City Council and presented a standard plan to allow for
170 feet of parking on each frontage at the four affected inter-
sections. Mr. Waggoner indicated that the cost per 170-foot
parking strips would average $1,300.
City Manager Dial stated that the citizens interested
in the widening of South Broadway had suggested that the City
participate in the cost of said project by paying for the asphaltic
surface. Mr. Dial stated that this would cost $1.51 per lineal
foot or approximately $260 per parking area.
It was the consensus of City Council that the City of
Englewood participate in the widening of South Broadway at the
intersections of Broadway and Oxford, Broadway and Mansfield,
Broadway and Kenyon and Broadway and Dartmouth by providing for
the asphaltic surface at a cost of $1.51 per lineal foot.
City Council briefly discussed the storm drainage
situation at 3100 South Fox. At the conclusion of the discussion
Councilman Lay suggested that the plans for solution of the storm
drainage problem be reviewed at a study session.
Councilmen Brown and Lone discussed a meeting on
December 12, 1969 to discuss the storm sewer program.

City Manager Dial reported on three traffic problems
which had been occurring in the City of Englewood. Mr. Dial
indicated that the problem areas were on U.S •. 285 in front of
Cinderella City, in the 3400 block of South Elati, and on
Hampden Avenue from U.S. 285 to Logan.
Mr. Kells Waggoner, Director of Public Works, and Mr.
Jack L. Clasby, Chief of Police, appeared before City Council
and explained the details concerning the traffic backup on
Hampden at South Bannock and U.S. 285 and its effect upon South
Broadway traffic. Mr. Clasby indicated that officers were
directing traffic and special traffic channelization lanes had
been necessary to handle the traffic load on November 28 and 29.
The traffic problems in the 3400 block of South Elati
were discussed. It was pointed out that a good portion of the
problem was caused by the left hand turns made by the north-
bound traffic into the shopping center at the Republic National
Bank building. This left hand turn movement causes problems on
the entire length of 3400 South Elati which spills into the
U.S. 285 -Hampden intersection. Mr. Clasby indicated that the
partial solution of this problem was to restrict left hand turns
on a temporary basis.
The traffic problems on U.S. 285 in front of the shop-
ping center complex were discussed. City Manager Dial stated
that the problem did not stern from the flow of traffic on U.S.
285 but rather on the lack of proper internal control within the
center.

Minutes of the December 1, 1969 regular City Council meeting.
City Council discussed the various responsibilities of
center officials and of the City of Englewood ·in handling the
traffic problems within the center. It was the consensus of
City Council that traffic problems on the center site were
clearly the responsibility of the shopping center personnel.
The discussion of the traffic problem on Hampden Avenue
from U.S. 285 to South Logan continued. City Manager Dial recom-
mended that the ordinance calling for two-way traffic on Hampden
be repealed and that one-way traffic westbound be restored. Mr.
Dial indicated that if this recommendation should not be accepted
then two lanes west and one land eastbound should be instituted
on Hampden.
