The co
miAaint ot Isabel:e ,T. Curmi -$.-4 P asAnt gt-a, relative to the congestion
on Sundays teca-ss_of Wilsoa‘ sr.d th4 Sacr$I eart Church was reviewed by the
. Traffic Zftiaiztee.- turt,ndings anitox_Icempendatious_are. as follows:
_
z‘4% V 4t
1. There exists traffic corigest,i1b,%.4 *isloeatipp simply because there is not
r1/44
enough space to accommodate tho? re thkchiarch (which provides practically
no off street parking) and thenns ers Of the Wilsqn's farm outlet. The parking
for the latter is fixed by Board of APpeais *-mits and had been enlarged within
the last few years, but is still inadequate . -the weekend demand. There is no
traffic solution to this problem, short of design of the entire junction
(which may be needed for other reasons, buel- , ' c;!--term proposition) . The
other possible approach, that of curtailing Iii ; ,Is operations for Mrs. Cumming's
benefit) is clearly beyond the scope of this Cjimittee.
2. There is a police officer on duty at this location on Sunday mornings who can
act in ta..se of any violation or obstruction of traffic.
3. trs, .:,,zaolnEs who has not resided at 4 Pleasant St. for very long) is not

,trs. :J=M.1.24-5 Telephoned the police on previous occasions, but in each case,
no Traffi: Irno....ati= was found.
5. z r,P----core :f relief ay be obtained if Mrs. Cummings (a) backs her car into
the zrivevaT. 11.1.C.L.W: it easier to drive out on Sunday, and (b) asks the police
officer cl: _-_...:7- fcr assistance when ready to leave her driveway.
The Traffi: :oami:ree is cognizant of the problem, but is of the opinion that
no reasonaTle 4-nmo--izte solution is available.
