Councilman Riordan seconded this motion. Maintaining that Redlands needs a bus terminal and that it should be a first- class one, Vice Mayor Gorman explained that he had reviewed the Commission's findings and the complaints reported, fie has studied the Location; has spoken to riders, residents, and business people in the immediate neighbor- hood at five different times; has been no more than six people leaving or entering the bus at one time, and ususally fewer.; that in one day there are : twelve busses stopping; and that in regard to noise, the residents rarely heard the busses due to the traffic and many trucks on Colton Avenue. He then read a letter from Betty Cox, owner of Bouquet Florist, located in the same building, Mrs. Cox regretted the shared bathroom use and that cars occasionally overflowed the existing parking spaces, but added that Redlands' need for a bus depot outweighed the inconvenience and urged that it should stay.
