in the westerly direction, removing two parking spots, having parking on the right, and
traffic on the left moving in a westerly direction.

design - Figure # 2 - with as much expansion of the park and narrowing of crosswalks
as possible, and to have traffic striping which allows one car at a time to exit the street
in front of the post office. Carried by a vote of 4 ayes. Mr. Blanton voted no, noting that
the Parks Commission should have an opportunity to review the proposals first.
Speaker, April Maiten, representing the Parks Commission, requested limiting the
buses at the Plaza. If all buses cannot be eliminated, then at least limit the bus lay over
to one bus, and sign the bus stop for the buses to turn off their motor while they are
stopped. She asked that the Parks Commission be included in the decisions regarding
