No formal action was taken at this meeting, but Dr. Burns expressed the hope that conversations would take place between the Cofers and the protesting group. • 3) Last week Mr. Brooks Cofer called me (E. C. Klipple) to express willingness to talk to the leaders of the protest group, and I told him I would transmit his message to the lead- ers. In this conversation I told Mr. Brooks Cofer that I was not a leader or a negotiator for the group, but I was certain they were united in seeking repeal of Ordinance No. 555. When Mr. Brooks Cofer said " --- but repeal would put us back where we started" I answered tykes, this is true, but the group feels that any compromise should constitute new business, and this would have the advantage of being carried out in the open." 4) I then carried Mr. Brooks Cofer's message--along with a report of the above conversation--to Mrs. Mabel Barger, Mr. & Mrs. Joe T. Sanders, Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Badgett, Mr. & Mrs. H. L. Heaton, Mr. & Mrs. J. R. Couch, Mr. & Mrs . J. W. Sorenson, Mr. & Mrs. Allan Madeley, Mr. & Mrs . R. H. Mitchell, and Mrs. S. W. Bilsing. 5) Each of the above families stated anew that Ordinance No. 555 should be repealed. Sincerely, k.t+Fee.. • E. C. Klipple I Proposed Changes in Traffic Pattern for College Station South of Jersey and West of Highway 6 1. Propose that all parking be eliminated on Anna from Holick Dr. to Timber Street. 2. Propose that there be no parking on Holick Dr. or on Timber Street adjacent to school property during school hours. 3. Propose that Anna Street be widened to 32' from Holick Dr. to Glade and eventually to Timber. Maintain one way traffic on Anna during school hours moving from East to West until street widening project is completed. 4. Propose that one way traffic on Timber Street from Park Place to Jersey Street be maintained during school hours. 5. Propose that Stop Sign at south side of the Glade Street Park Place intersection be removed until Park Place extension to the East is open. 6. Propose that steps be taken to negotiate with University officials M to extend Timber Street across Jersey Street then veer to the right and join Bizzell. This would eliminate the short jog on Jersey Street thus allowing a smoother flow of traffic. 7. Propose that sufficient R.O.W. be obtained at southern terminal of Fairview at its intersection with County Road to connect it with Detroit. Then extend Detroit Street through to South West Parkway. This will provide a direct access from S. W. Parkway to the Stadium parking lot. 8. Propose that W.
