"The 1983-88 Capital Improvement Program authorized $30,000 to provide roadway and traffz signal improvements at the intersection of Airline Boulevard and Kings Highway. This project would include construction of left turn storage lanes on Airline Boulevard and replacement of twnenty year-old traffic signal equipment. This project will improve the traffic flow through this high accident area. Accidents that are now occurring at this location area~result of left turning vehicles stopped in a through lane, thereby creating rear-end type collisions. With left turn storage lanes, these accidents should be nearly eliminated. The new signal equipment on Airline Boulevard and Kings Highway will produce better traffic flow and increased capacity. In addition, the 1983-88 Capital Improvement Program authorized $35,000 for roadway improvements at three (3) locations on Frederick Boulevard from 1-264 to Rt. 17. This project would provide for left turn storage lanes needed to decrease rear-end accidents and enhance the traff~ccapacity on Frederick Boulevard~ These locations have become bottlenecks during peak periods because left turning vehicles block the through movement on Frederick Boulevard. Approximately 37,000 vehicles per day travel this route. These locations to be provided left turn storage lanes are: 1. Frederick Boulevard for north bound traffic at South Snreet. 2. Frederick Boulevard for north bound traffic at King Street. 3. Frederick Boulevard for south bound traffic at the City Compound entrance. It is therefore recommended, and I concur, that Council adopt th&~attached ordinance to appropriate $65,000 for these much needed traffic and safety improvements." On motion of Mrs~ Webb and seconded by Mr. Gray, the following ordinance was approved on first reading, and was adopted by unanimous vote:
