PUBLIC FORUM Mayor Obie gave an opportunity to those who wished to address the council about subjects that are not scheduled for council consideration. Paul Engelking, 32 N. Alder, Lowell, told the council he was crossing the intersection of Franklin and Agate streets on October 29, 1987, when he was e struck by a vehicle making a left turn. He said a traffic sign allowing only a 1 eft or ri ght turn from Agate Street makes it dangerous for pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk.

He asked the council to allocate enough money so that such a project could be completed. Mr. Engelking submitted a written copy of hi s comments. II. PUBLIC HEARINGS A.
