632 11 REGULAR MEETING MAY 8TH, 1950 Councilman Tellson made a motion that the petition be accepted. Councilman Niezgodski seconded the motion. Lotion carried. PETITION TO THE CITY COUNCIL May 8th, 1950 The signers of the attached remonstrance request the Board and the Bus Company to reconsider the change of the routing of the Portage bus as approved by the Board on April 24, 1950, and suggest as alternatives several routes as shown in the attached map. The signers are substantially, with minor exceptions, property owners and most of them purchased their homes at a time subsequent to the initiation of the present bus service on Inglewood Place. The signers also have many small children for whom the operation of a bus will present a new and additional traffic hazard. Very few of the signers are regular users of the bus service and therefore the convenience of the bus service is not important to them as is indicated by their signatures* It is the understanding of the signers that the proposed change in service was initiated on behalf of the residents in the new "Pin Hook Manor" section. It is not the intent or desire of the signers of this remonstrance to interfere with the furnishing of service to the Pin Hook residences; rather it is their intent and purpose to submit to the Board and Company the fact that such service can be afforded by the adoption of a route different from that which the Company and Board passed upon on April 24, 1950. Each of the proposed alternate routes does give this service and each would seem to have fully as much merit and advantage to the people who are directly affected as does the route which would follow Hollywood between Oakwood and Woodlawn. We have colored on the map our preference of proposed alternate routes in the order of preference 1 in Red, 2 in Blue and 3 in Green. (60 Signers) Councilman Korpal made a motion that the petition be accepted and placed -on file. Councilman Tellson seconded the motion. Motion carried. FE TITION TO THE HONOABLE.
