Peak hours it's about 150. <br />Simons: What about weekends? <br />Richards: We have not made any weekends. <br />Simons: We have a lot of traffic in the summer traveling that <br />particular route to Sylvan Beach. <br />Richards: This plan would favor that traffic. <br />Skelton: When all these people co <br />• on Broadway are we going to need a <br />these cars to get out? <br />Richards: No. The volumes we are <br />not need a light there.

Richards stated he was here to get <br />input and to present these recommendations based on their <br />findings. He stated he could design the system without these <br />three changes, but he felt it would not be the most efficient <br />nor the safest, in his opinion. He further stated he was not <br />contesting the Council; he was just presenting the facts for <br />them to make a decision. <br />Hodge: Remember, Fairmont Parkway will take a lot of this <br />traffic when it is widened. <br />Faris: That work-will be begun late third or early fourth <br />quarter of this year, according to Commissioner Fonteno's <br />office. I see no reason not to procede with these gentlemen's <br />recommendations at this time. If it is in line for a motion <br />• to that effect, I'll make it. <br />
