That the two hour parking limit in t'_^e business area be changed beck to one hour limit? We realize thwt it was at t'lis committee's request that a two '.,our limit.be observed, but it has worked out to pose some problems whicl-, we feel can be eliminated only trrou`h changing back to the one hour limit. 2. It is furt�-er sug-,ested tl^at Vie streets be marked for diag- onal parking on the south side -)f Johnson and Delmar, in the one block which they both run, through the dountnwn sects n. 3. Also, that Church Street be marked for parallel par'_:ing on both sides of t'-e street, from Fairhope Avenue to i:agnolia; starting on t'^e east side of tre street at the a'ley back of the old Pig,�ly- T,igrly building, and extending to the corner at 1.1agnnlia. On the west side of the street t'^e mar?:i,i , should be where it is practical. 4. Further, that you scrinusly c-)nsider -)avir.g Bancroft Street, from Fair*,-ope Avenue to "ornhy, so that this street will be more usable for the )arking of er_ )loyed _ocople from the business-plE ces.
