This side of the street has new curbs and sidewalks but the north side does not and is being used for off-street parking by students at the high school. Irvin stated that if an emergency vehicle needs to get through right now they would not be able to do so. Irvin asked the Council for direction. The Council referred the matter to Chief Barney and asked him to use his emergency powers if necessary to take care of this problem until school is dismissed for the summer. Councilor Lonzo stated that next year with the construction at the high school the entire area should be looked at for some kind of a solution.

Councilor Irvin agreed to that recommendation.
