SPECIAL BUSINESS RESOLUTION NO. 1251 -85 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, URGING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT TRANSPO TO RECONSIDER THE LOCATION OF THEIR MAJOR BUS TERMINAL LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN SOUTH BEND, INDIANA. WHEREAS, for the past several years the location of a downtown terminal for TRANSPO has been debated; and WHEREAS, several site locations have been proposed; and WHEREAS, the Common Council believes that a centrally location terminal in the core of the downtown area of South Bend would best serve the needs of those using TRANSPO services; and WHEREAS, the Common Council believes that the needs of the users should be paramount in making a final decision for a new downtown location. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: SECTION I.
