Motion carried. A communication signed by Mrs. Walter P. Cochran and 18 others re: traffic hazards at First and Washington Streets, was submitted and read as follows: "I am writing on behalf of the residents in vicinity of First and Washington Streets. We have had a series of accidents on this corner in the last few months which was climaxed by an accident on Friday, February 6; that proved near fatal and caused considerable property damage. Some time ago I wrote a letter to the Register Guard which was signed by residents in the immediate neighborhood of First and Washington. We thought perhaps a little publicity for our traffic problem through the paper might help thoughtless drivers to see how they were endangering the lives of our children. The newspaper was very cooperative, but careless driving and excess speed has not been cut down at all. All we ask is that the City Manager and Eugene City Council try to help us figure out some answer to this problem, caused by heavy traffic using First Street as a cut-off to town and back West to River Road in order to avoid congested traffic on Blair Street, and Van Buren. Although traffic is heaviest going East and West on First Street, speeding on Washington, North and South is almost as bad. 11..___--,- _""~_._.___~_~___" ,~ ~16 We will greatly appreciate an investigation to determine wheth~r stop signs will help, and if so, the installation o~ these stop signs. ~ --... I ~f ,....,., ........ The follmying is some idea of what has caused us to be so concerned. 1. Whiteaker school has approximately 265 pupils._of which a very large percentage use First Street going to and from school. 2. In one minor accident recently, one car went out of control and barely missed two little girls on bicycles. These children were not in the street. They were both on the parking strip. They had sto:pped their bicycl~s and werE; visitng. 3. A pick-up truck hit a sedan throwing it over the curb, across the parking strip where~:it cameto rest with the back wheels almost on the sidewalk. This spot is a bus stop. Had it been time for the bus to pass someone could easily have been killed. . I 4. A freight truck hit? panel delivery truck, ~cattering contents allover the street. 5. A freight truck hit a jeep throwing it into the side'of a bus which was parked to take on and discharge passengers. '6. Two passenger cars collided knocking both drivers unconscious~ One car hit the light pole on the Northeast corn~r of'First and Washington breaking the pole off and setting it over in the middle of the sidewalk. The second car went out of control, jumped the curb and continued through three lawns'on the East side of Washington Street, finally co~ing to a stop. But not before completely wrecking the front part of the third house (55 Washington St.). Outside of the damage entailed, this accident caused great nervous shock to a young expectant mother residing at this address, and could have easily endangered the life of both baby and mother. " 7. A car turning off First on,to Washington misjudged speed and distance and knocked a parked car over the curb and on to'the parking strip. In each of these accidents had any children been crossing'the street, or in some of the cases been on the sidewalks or in the yards they would have been killed or at the very least badly injured. : Mr. Seeger if you feel it would be any help, I will be very glad to appear at ! the City Council meeting at a moment's notice and talk to the members and explain- to them just how we all feei about this problem and give them a clear view of our side of the case." I 15 It was moved by Crwnbaker, seconded by Hawn that the communication be receiv.ed and placed on file and that the matter be referred back to the City Manager.
