TRINIDAD RAPS
PARKING SIGN
CONFLICT
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Declaring no parking signs
which fail to convey meaning
where several are posted together,
each with a different restriction,
are costing motorists $1,000 per
day, the Trinidad Citizens Associ-
alton, at meeting last night in
the Wheatley School, unani-
mously adopted q resolution by
Martin G.. Stecker demanding a
simplified system be Immediately
inaugurated.
Stecker said he recently had
been handed a ticket for parking
his car in a restricted zone, where
the signs were so numerous and
conflicting he was unable to de-
termine what was intended, and
he was one of 425 who that day
decided to forfeit collateral rather
than bother further.
Shift for Heavy Traffic
In resolution by H. S. Shilling,
the Traffic Director was asked to
issue regulations excluding heavily
loaded vehicles from all side
streets in the residential section
of the associations territory, where
vibration in many instances has
caused side walls to crack and cell
ings to fall.
1t was urged that all heavy traf-
fic be diverted to New York Ave
nue., Bennings Road, Bladensburg
Road, H Street and Florida
Avenue.
John H. Thomas and James E.
Peck were named to confer with
officials of the Stanton Park Cit
izens Association on proposal that
parking on Fifth Street Northeast,
between E and K Streets be linn
tied to one side.
It was voted to cooperate with
the Parent Teachers Association
of Wheatley School to obtain use
of Brentwood Park, said to contain
143 acres of Government land ad-
jacent to Gallaudet College, for a
public recreation center.
