Mrs. Sanders presented a petition containing 138 signatures asking that immediate action be taken to mark this area as a turning lane or indicate to the people not to use it as such; 3. Gene E. Sanders, Jr., 2405 Parkview - Mr. Sanders spoke to the Council regarding this same problem; 4. Vivan A. Williams, 2403 Parkview - Mrs. Williams spoke to the Council regarding this same problem. City Manager Wicker advised that he has been discussing this matter with the State Highway Department since they are the people that control the road, and anytime you have something that requires traffic engineering it is done by the State. Mr. Wicker stated that Mr. Lipscomb of the Highway Department indicated that this could be made into a right turn lane. This being the case they would provide the signs, the marking, etc. City Manager Wicker was asked to call Mr. Lipscomb and try to expedite this matter; however, if it is going to be six months then consideration should be made to mark the lane as shoulder so that only one lane of traffic would be involved at this inter- section.
