Mr. James Beatty, representing the First National Bank, presented a letter to t he Council as follows: Law Offices Fischer, Fischer & Beatty November 18, 1964 The Honorable, The Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado Messrs. and Madam: The First National Bank in Fort Collins has long recognized that the downtown park ing and traffic problem is becomibg more and more critical and will become even more so -in the future. One aspect of the problem that affects boththe City and the Bank is th& use of the Banks drive -up facilities by the citizens of Fort Collins. The use of such facilities has increased tothe point that from time to time cars are backed up along the West half of the 2200 block of West Oak Street and the North half of the 200 Block of South Howes. We propose that to alleviate this congestion of traffic, parking be prohibited alo the South curbing of the West half of the 200 block on Oak Street and t hat parking also be eliminated on the East curbing of the North half of the 200 block of South Howes Street in order that automibiles awaiting their turn at the bank's deive-up windows may gather withou impeding traffic upon each of such streets. This will remove approximately 21 parking spaces. To compensate for this loss of parking space the Bank purposes that the Bank's parking lot be made avilable tothe public without cost provided that such parking is used only by shoppers and not for all -day parking by proprietors or employees of downtown busi- nesses. The Bank is now engaged in enlarging its parking lot to a capacity of more than 100 cars and expansion expected to be completed by this spring will allow parking of more than 150 cars. The Bank also proposes to make this parking available to the public as above state whether or not the parking on Howes and Oak Streets is pronigited as suggested. In other words, the Bank feels that the use of such spaces by the public is in the interest of a bet ter downtown area fort he citizens of Fort Collins and the Ban k's offer of the use of such space is not conditioned upon the granting of its proposal. The Bank does, however, feel that unless the proposed suggestion is adopted, traf- fic congestion will become so intolerable as to require it to make auangements upon its own Bounds for the gathering of traffic for its drive -up windows. Such arrangement would nec- essarily consume a good portion of the parking spaces and would thus preclude the use of such spaces by the public. This the Bank would regret exceedingly as parking for downtown shoppers is already at a critical point. Accordingly, your favorably response to the fore- going suggestion wouldr.be earnestly requested and sincerely appreciated. Yours truly, Ward H. Fischer He presented a map showing the area requested to be made a no -parking area, aswell- as to show the increase in the parking lot of the First National Bank, which is in the pro- cess at the present time of being expanded. After discussion, motion was made by Council= man Guyer, Seconded by Councilman Colwell, that this proposal be accepted and referred to the City Manager for investigation and recommendation on same. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Guyer and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted. 41D Motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Guyer, that the Council adjourn. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Guyer and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted and the Council adjourned.
