Fair Begs MDC For Weeks' Lights

Gordon M. Fair, Master of Dunster House, yesterday added a plea for traffic lights on Weeks footbridge to his support of the drive for a traffic light at the corner of De Wolfe Street and Memorial Drive. In a letter to the Metropolitan District Commission, he ascribed the "number" of serious assaults on pedestrians crossing the bridge at night to the lack of lighting.

Requests for lights on the bridge in the past have been turned down. The M.D.C. attributes this to the fact that Dunster House snipers have always shot out any lights that were put in.

Fair also complained that absence of a traffic light at De Wolfe Street and Memorial Drive has caused many serious accidents. The intersection is misleading to motorists who pass at high speeds into to funnel only to find that it narrows quickly into a one way street which they are not permitted to enter, Fair added.
