<br />SUBJECT: OLIVE STREET COMPROMISE TRUCK ROUTE PROPOSAL
<br />At a meeting of the Northern Indiana Motor Carriers Association held Monday, April 22, this committee has been
<br />authorized to return the following reply to your suggested compromise routes for truck traffic currently using Olive
<br />Street:
<br />"This proposal is not acceptable to the Northern Indiana Motor Carriers Association. It is our considered judgement
<br />that the proposal is unworkable from the standpoint of economics, safety, minimum service to our many customers and
<br />that, further, the proposal would not be in the best interests of the community.
<br />"However, we once.,,again respectfully submit, in the interests of conciliation, the following counter - proposal: That
<br />inter -city trucks'traveling to and from the west be permitted to use Olive Ssreet along with intra -city trucks during
<br />the period of Sample Street repaving while trucks traveling to and from the east follow the designated alternate
<br />detour routes."
<br />The above resolution was adopted unanimousl, by the Northern Indiana Motor Carriers Association and the Olive Street
<br />committee is instructed to submit this as the Association's reply to the negotiations with Mayor Voorde and the
<br />Transportation Committee of the City Council.
