Page 2 The Southern Israelite FENCED - OFF Streets T HE streets of Atlanta are public prop erty, paid for by your taxes, put there for you to travel over. They were never meant to be garages for automobiles. When traffic was light it made little difference if a third or more of the street was occupied by parked automobiles. In those days the streets were adequate for all the traffic we had. But today they are inadequate. Traffic needs every inch of space. And the row' of parked cars that fences off a third or more of busy downtown streets throws all traffic into a nar row lane, making it hard for everybody who must use the streets for business and shopping. If this Chinese Wall w ere removed from At lanta’s streets, at least a th'rd more traffic could be accommodated and all business would be stimulated. You and your neighbor could get to the stores more easily. The thousands of people — the 80% — who depend upon the street cars, would get to town faster and homr sooner. When you park your car on a busy down town street, you inconvenience more people than you would ever realize. Practice the Golden Rule in traffic. Show others the consideration you would like to have. There is always plenty of room in downtown garages and parking lots. Or, we suggest as the real solution to parking problems— the street car.
