City Manager Hirst informed Council that this roadway has a maximum width of eighteen feet (near the Broad Street terminus) and only fifteen feet width along the Bridge Street overpass on into Moss Street; nevertheless, in view of the traffic using this roadway, Mr. Hirst and Council were of the opinion that it should be improved and maintained. It was Council's understanding that this easement agreement could be terminated by the City at any time. ~ A delegation of residents of stultz Road--whose spokesman was Mr. Raymond Nester--appeared before Council and appealed for Council's assistance towards improving and widening Stultz Road to provide safer conditions for school children in the area. This delegation also pointed out that Rapid Transit Bus Company does not provide bus service for school children on a portion of this street because the busses do not have turn-around space. Council indicated that efforts would be made to provide turn-around space for the busses and that the City would work with the residents of the street in an effort to improve traffic conditions along this street. Council was adjourned. ) 1M''>;\;:;:_ , W. H. Yeama Clerk of Counail "'-_-.:J
