Summary
The August 1963 Beaver Beacon noted that boat-time crowds and parked cars near the St. James docking site made freight unloading and vehicle unloading difficult. It asked visitors to park along the street and walk to the boat.
Evidence and limits
This is a newspaper request, not evidence of a formal traffic rule, enforcement, or engineering change. No count of vehicles or incidents is supplied.
Open questions
- Can township or boat-company records establish whether a formal parking or traffic measure followed?
