Left to right Light Controversy An old subject with a new twist spiced Thursday evenings Brigham City council meeting, Injecting some relatively heated comments into the proceedings. The old subject was ques. tloned need for a traffic light at Main street and Seventh The new twist was a South. report from the city traffic ad. committee which In. vlsory dicat ed that a light was not warranted at the lnteresectlon. This finding contradicted pre. vlous stands by the council that a signal should be Installed. City Engineer John Wilson who advised the traffic advisory group In Its deliberation, told the council We must approach this scientifically and not Just Jump In. He said that neither vehicular nor pedestrian traffic on Seventh South meet warrants established by the U.S. Depart ment of Commerce. In the area from First North to Sec. six-yea- r. Main. He suddenly broke and ran, colliding with the left front fend, er of a southbound truck driven by Paul A. Jones, 36, of 429 Ogden canyong, Ogden. In answer to a question from the council, Wilson said he had not conducted a traffic count at the Intersection. The committees conclusions were drawn from a previous state department highway survey. THE STATE has declined sev. eral times to authorize a light at Seventh South although local officials have made firm re. quests. A warrant wnlch apparently has been met Is one wnlch says a light can be justified If five or more serious accidents occur at the Intersection In one years time. POLICE CHIEF Dell Fife said seven mishaps were Investi- gated this past year and they have all been bad. He noted that over the past five years, the Intersection has seen 32 traffic accidents. Wilson replied that a con. IF THESE warrants are not met and a light Is Installed, dltlon of the warrant also In. we can expect Increases of 115 dlcates that a light Is Justl.
