Superintendent, Nursery Division. These men were asked to respond
to the recommendations submitted to the Committee by Connie
Lundeen regarding the street ends on Clearwater Beach. The following
information was given the Committee.
k>
Recommendation 1. RESIDENTIAL PARKING ONLY signs. The problem with
signs of this nature would be the issuance of permits
to area residents and the inability of the police
to determine residents visitors.
Recommendation 2. PARKING TIME ON SIGNS. The time indicated on
the signs is determined by the city coremission. A
change would have to be effectuated by them.
Recommendation 3. TRASH CANS Mr. Mulhollnad stated that at one
time additional trash cans were set out, but were
not used to capacity. It is felt there should be
only one can at street side on access roads.
Recommendation 4. ~TAL BARRIERS To replace the metal barriers
with wooden ones would be costly and expensive to
maintain. It was suggested perhaps the neach
Associations might wish to paint the barriers.
