2708 Everett Holes 1771 Fry, inquired as to how many names were on the petition to make Fry Street a one-away and answer was that nine families had signed. Dale Bergstedt, 1659 Maple Knoll Drive asked if there was a chance of appeal to the State Highway Department as regards the ~N© U Turns restriction on Larpenteur Avenue at Frye and also, why the village could not have the right to take action on this. Snyker stated the No U Turn regulation by the State Highway Department does serve a purpose. because there are about 18000 vehicles that are involved and because of the fact that most cars have to cross four lanes of traffic to make the U turns this is a hazard. Paul Loomis, 1687 Fry Street, stated it is not necessary to cross four lanes - he has a full size Chevrolet and he can make U turn from left lane and wind u.p going opposite direction without crossing four lanes.

He stated that Dahlgren~ village planner_at that time,, showed him just how he wanted it.
