Honorable Louis Benin, Mayor
Members of City Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
We would like to have you accept
this letter as a request for a No
Parking sign for a distance of about
20 feet north Of the new driveway
which we put in our property in
front Of the garage. AS you know
this extra driveway was put in so
we could drive from Biddle to Sixth
Street without causing any annoy
ance or disturbance to our neigh
bors-aS you will remember, it was
quite question about four months
ago. This has been thoroughly elm
mated by this driveway.
We find that private cars are
parking up against this so close
that our operators are not able to
make their turns without having to
drive off the driveway onto the
terrace between the sidewalk and
curb and dangerously close to one
Of the city MIGRANTS.
For the above stated reason We
would appreciate your cooperation
in the above request.
Sincerely yours,
Great Lakes Greyhound
Lines, Inc.
Earl OConnor,
Division Manager
Referred to Traffic Committee.
The Honorable
Mayor and City Council
City Of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
We would appreciate having the
necessary steps taken to have the
entire Police Station cleaned and
painted, and have the plaster in
the squad room and other rooms of
the building repaired where needed.
Yours very truly,
Board of Police and
Fire Commissioners
Fred S. Harrington, Jr..
President
Referred to City Engineer and
Building Inspector.
The Honorable Mayor
and City Council
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
At a meeting Of the Board of
Police and Fire Commissioners held
on December 4, 1914, a discussion
was held regarding the loading and
unloading Of BUSES at the Roose-
welt high school, following a sug-
geStion made by Officer Edward
Path, which was approved with
few alterations.
At this time we should like to re-
quest your Honorable Body to have
| sidewalk laid on the northwest
corner of Fifth Street at the curb,
from the corner to the present walk
at the side entrance of the school
and another sidewalk placed at the
curb on Eureka from the corner
Of Fifth to the front entrance
Of the school, also one at the
curb on the southwest corner
Of Eureka at Fifth. The present
arrangement is for the Greyhound
bus to pick up children on the east
side of Fifth at Eureka and pro-
coed north on Fifth to the Lincoln
school. The Loop Bus picks them up
on the west side of Fifth and pro-
ceeds east on Eureka. The bus going
west on Eureka picks up passengers
right at the cross walk at Fifth
and Eureka and extends out into
Fifth street, thus causing a traffic
hazard.
II the above walks are laid 1t
would eliminate the present stop
on the east side of Fifth and the
GREYHOUND. bus stop would be on
Eureka in front of the school. =
So much confusion now exists
when these BUSES are loading and
unloading that two children have
recently been injured and we rec
ommend that the above plans be
approved by your Honorable Body
in the interest of safety.
Respectfully submitted,
Board of Police and Fire
Commissioners
