<br /> 3. LOADING ZONES. IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE SITUATION WHEREBY AT PRESENT THE PRACTICE
<br /> II OF DOUBLE PARKING IN THE DOWNTOWN METERED AREAS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY PREVALENT, THE
<br /> 'I FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS ARE HEREBY MADE:
<br /> II THA T, METERS IN TRUCK LOADING ZONES BE CHANGED TO THE
<br /> II A. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, ALL
<br /> ,I 12-MINUTE-LIMIT TYPE; THESE iONES TO BE PROPERLY SIGNED SO AS TO I ND'I CA TE THAT
<br /> II 12 MINUTE FROM 9:00 A.M. TO 6:00 P.M., DAILY EXCEPT 1
<br /> THIS LIMIT IS I N FORCE !
<br /> II SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS.
<br /> I'
<br /> I THAT THESE
<br /> I B. ZONES REMAIN, AS NOW, FOR TRUCKS ONLY UNTIL 12:00 NOON, WI TH OTHER I
<br /> !
<br /> i VEHICLES PERMITTED AFTER NOON, HOWEVER, WITH THE PROVISION THAT THE TRUCK OPERATORS
<br /> WI LL BE REQUIRED TO FEED THE METERS IN THE MORNING AS WELL AS IN THE AFTERNOON.
<br /> I THIS
<br /> il PRACTI CE SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE PROMPT LOADING AND UNLOADING OF GOODS, SO
<br /> il THAT THE SPACE COULD BE CLEARED FOR THE NEXT OCCUPANT.
<br /> "

<br /> 'I IF THE FOREGOING I S, APPROVED, AND ORDINANCE SHOULD BE DRAWN UP EXPLAINING THESE
<br /> II ,
<br /> PROVISIONS, AND ADEQUATE PUBLICITy'OF THE NEW REGULATIONS SHOULD BE SECURED PRIOR TO
<br /> II EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.
<br /> I :
<br /> i:
<br />I I 'WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY BUSINESS MEN TO THE EFFECT THAT SOME
<br /> Ii
<br /> jl BUSINESSES ADJACENT TO LOADING ZONES ARE ABUSING THE ZONES IN THAT THEY USE THE
<br /> ,I SPACES FOR THEIR OWN TRUCKS AS A PARKING SPACE, RATHER THAN FOR THE LOADING OR UN-
<br /> !! LOADING PURPOSE FOR WHICH THEY ARE INTENDED.

<br /> II
<br /> II 4. SPECIAL PARKING PERMITS. 'WE ARE CONTINUALLY BESIEGED BY REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL
<br /> I' PARKING PRrVELEGES, AND WE HAVE HAD MANY REQUESTS THAT WE ADOPT SOME SYSTEM WHEREBY
<br /> II
<br /> I THOSE BUSINESSES AND SERVICES HAVING A LEGITIMATE NEED FOR SUCH PRIVILEGES CAN BE
<br /> II ISSUED PERMITS. SUCH A SYSTEM WOULD MINIMIZE INCONVENIENCE TO BOTH THE USERS OF SUCH
<br /> I' SPACE AND THE CITY. IT HAS BEEN OUR OBSERVATION THAT MANY SERVICE MEN HAVE BEEN USING
<br /> ,I
<br /> II TRUCK LOADING ZONES FOR THEIR OPERATIONS, THEREBY DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF THE TRUCK
