June 16, 1955 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: Because 0£ the increase in both pedestrian and vehicular traffic at the intersection of 4th and Cen- tral, an investigation was made by the Police Department to de- termine whether it would be prac- . tical to remove the green right turn arrow in the southwest corner of 4th and Central. Under present conditions a ve- hicle traveling south on Central can make a right turn west on 4th Street against a red light. With the increase of pedestrian traffic this creates quite a safety problem and it is the recommenda- tion of the Police Department, in which I concurr, that the green right turn be removed from this intersection.
