ORAL CON MUNICATIONS
Mr. Derwin L. Riley, of the City Market, on behalf of
business establishments on Richmond Street southerly of Grand
Avenue, addressed the Council, thanking that Body for causing said
Richmond Street to be improved.
However, Mr. Riley called attention to the fact that the present
parallel method of parking on said street does not seem to be working
satisfactorily in that customers have difficulty parking; that the
number of cars which may be parked through the parallel parking system
is considerably less than could be taken care of by angle parking, and
he and other merchants have found the present system of parking detri-
mental to business and they have received considerable complaints from
citizens.
Mr. Harry R. White, of Whitets Poultry, then addressed the Council,
stating that he had made a survey of the parking situation on Richmond
Street southerly of Grand Avenue, and as a result of such survey finds
that if angle parking is replaced on the westerly side of Richmond
Street as formerly, parking space for eleven additional cars could be
provided; that he has found women shoppers do not like parallel parking
and as a consequence the store owners on said street are losing con-
siderable business. He requested the Council, on the part of the
business men, to give consideration to the matter of again establishing
angle parking on the westerly side of Richmond Street, between Grand
Avenue and El Segundo Boulevard.
The Council expressed a desire to cooperate in any manner possible,
and thereafter, it was moved by Councilman Gordon, seconded by Councilman
Swanson, that the matter of changing the method of parking on Richmond
Street, between Grand Avenue and E1 Segundo Boulevard, from present
parallel parking to angle parking, be referred to Commissioner of Public
Safety Thompson and Chief of Police DeBerry, for investigation and with
power to act..
Carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen Gordon, Peterson, Swanson, Thompson and
Mayor Selby;
Noes: Councilmen None;
Absent: Councilmen None.

tion thereof, and as a result of such investigation, desired to make

circumstances about which Mr. Groger had made complaint, but inas-
much as the item was so small and that the City's insurance carrier,

Councilman Thompson, that upon the signing of a proper claim therefor
by William R. Groger, the City Clerk be and she is hereby directed to
