regarding the extension of bus service in the Larkman Park area.
<br />1J5
<br />Mr. Williams said the General Manager of S.B.T.S., Mr. Paul Marsh, advises the request, which would include that
<br />Line 1 be extended along Illinois Avenue to Western Avenue; Western Avenue to Colton Avenue; and Colton Avenue to
<br />Fairview Avenue, would be feasible and would not affect the bus schedules, however, would create an additional cost
<br />of $2,465. per year, or $8.00 per day.
<br />Mr. Williams concluded that although there are funds available through SB -325, Staff would not recommend supporting
<br />the proposed route change due to adequate service coverage at this time, and the potential use of the bus for door-
<br />to-door service which the system is not designed to provide.
<br />Discussion followed among the Council members and Staff, and Council concurred that the bus system is provided for
<br />all members of the community, and therefore the extension requested should be approved, and S.B.T.S. so advised.
<br />Moved by Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve the request for extension of bus service to
<br />the Larkman Park area, and that the S.B.T.S. be so advised. Unanimous vote.
