Mr. M. M. Summers presented a petition to the City Council bearing
102 signatures of various merchants and businessmen expressing their
desires to abolish one-way traffic in the downtown area as follows:
"Petition
Englewood City Council:
We the undersigned merchants and businessmen of the central district of
Englewood respectfully request you the governing body of the City to re-
move the one way traffic on the 3300 & 3400 blocks of South Bannock and
Acoma streets, also r~move the barricade on West Hampden in the block
iamediately west of Broadway, and restore normal two way traffic on these
streets.
We believe one way traffic on the above named streets serves no purpose
and the experiment of two years becomes evidence that it has injured
business, caused disatisfaction among the people, and confusion among
the motorists.
We pray for the removal of this traffic hindrance and limitation and
request that you give it your immediate attention.
Respectfully signed,
Submitted February 4, 1963"

City Shopping Center and had been denied by the Building Inspector. A suit
against the City of Englewood and Beryl A. Wallace, Building Inspector, had
been brought requesting that the City be ordered to issue the permit. He

he feels that the need for a law suit and the expenditure of money to defend
it is a waste of money under the circumstances. Councilman Braun agreed with
Councilman Woods conunents and reviewed the City's position on this proposed
shopping center. He stated that he would vote "no" on the motion. Councilman
Miles spoke to the effect that there was more at stake than a simple law
suit, that the suit attacked the various city ordinances and procedure and
such an attack must be answered. Councilman Woods conunented that if various
ordinances and procedures were open to attack as the result of previous court
decisions that those ordinances and procedures would have been altered rather
than continued leading perhaps to this suit.

631-21 PETITION FOR OPENING STREET IN SCENIC VIEW
The City Manager reported that a petition had been filed in the City
Clerk's office on January 22, 1963, signed by owners of property in Block 1,
SOuthlawn Gardens Annex in the Scenic View area which petition involved 29
parcels of land 21 owners had legally signed, leaving 8 which had not indicated
approval. He remarked that receipt of a petition offering dedication of land
to the City of opening of a street but not bearing one hundred per cent of
the land concerned raised a question of whether the City should accept those
parcels offered and if so should the balance be condemed and payment made.
councilman Braun reviewed the City's action in thi• regard stating that the
City had a policy of buying right-of-way on arterial streets only and that
all other land must be freely dedicated to the City before a street .will be
opened.

631-24 TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODERNIZATION AT KENYON AND CHENANGO AND BROADWAY
The City Manager stated that since the access ramp has been completed
and the traffic signal placed into operation at Jefferson Avenue and South
Broadway the State Highway Commission has insisted upon the removal of the
blinker type school signal at Kenyon and Broadway. This request has
brought statements of concern and objections from school officials at Flood
Junior Highschool. He recommended that the City install a t-.affic signal at
this intersection with pedestrial actuated switches. This would be in
conformance with the Highway Department rules.
The City Manager reported that improvements were also planned in connec-
tion with the pedestrian activation of the traffic signal at South Broadway
and Chenango Avenue which was also hazardous. The total cost was estimated
to be $3,900.00. The City Treasurer certified that there was an unappro-
priated surplus in the Public Improvement Fund of $4,044.99. Accordingly
the City Manager requested that the Council consider the following resolu-
tion:

unappropriated cash balance in the Public Improvement Fund at this time suf-
ficient to cover such over-expenditures:

specialized in this method of municipal building erection and would like to
discuss the proposal with the Council in the near future.
The City Manager indicated that the Planning Department and Commission
would like a joint meeting with the City Council on the proposed zoning
ordinance and the changes made therein so that amendments after publication
'NOuld not occur. The City Manager suggested that perhaps a special informal
meeting of the Council could be held on February 11th to consider both these
iteas. . ..
The Mayor stated that it appeared the members of the Council did not
wish to meet on February 11th and that the building authority method of
securing a municipal building could be discu••ed at the next informal meeting.
He expressed doubt if there would be value to meeting with the Planning
Director and Planning Commission to go over the propo•ed amendments in the
zoning ordinance.
