In making th:Ls recommendation, the Planning Commission considered the follow- ing fac ts : 1. Wingfield Street presently has a curb to curb width of 20 feet and there is no point at which a vehicle of any description might turn around without having to back up approximately 200 feet, thus causing confusion as well as traffic hazard to vehicles of all types.
