<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />:J <br /> <br />Let it be known by all present that we, the undersigned members <br />of the Board of Directors of the San Marcos Area Chamber of <br />Commerce, do hereby adopt this Resolution as recorded. <br /> <br />Resolved, that due to the insistance of Governor John Connally <br />in his request that HemisFair 1968 be foremost in the minds <br />of the Legislature at this time, we feel that it is necessary <br />for this organization to request the City Council to request <br />the Texas Highway Department to re-consider past action in <br />reference to two-way traffic pattern on the frontage roads <br />adjacent to Interstate 35 as it goes through the City limits <br />of San Marcos for the following reasons: <br /> <br />WHEREAS, we have tourist facilities now in operation on these <br />roads which have pledged support of the HemisFair Housing <br />Program in effort to assist with the expected crowd of 11 <br />million plus visitors, and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the one-way traffic pattern will be confusing to many <br />of these visitors who are unfamiliar with such patterns in a <br />city of our size, and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, our neighboring City of New Braunfels has two-way <br />traffic along the frontage roads this appears to be discrim- <br />ination to our businesses, and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, we have evidence of many problems of emergency traffic <br />to and from our hospital due to one-way pattern, and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, you are now planning our lateral streets for future <br />development in effort to eliminate part of this problem, <br />therefore <br /> <br />BE IT KNOWN, that we urge the City Council to request two-way <br />traffic for a period of two years, giving us time to complete <br />our planning and thereby taking care of the Tourist traffic <br />in our area during HemisFair 1968. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted: <br />/7 .. <br />J(:hi"~~ <br />" ~- V', 4:-f.-. rlJ <br />'-\?'
