Greyhound Bus Depot Councilman Martinez began the discussion by restating his objections to the Colton Avenue location for the bus depot. He spoke of those people unable to speak for themselves; of Dr. Lee's tenants' objections; inadequacy of toilet accomodations; incidents of trespass, and again asked for a traffic study by staff. In answer to Mr. Martinez's question, Greyhound District Manager Carlos Juarez replied that the bus could operate well out of the, Colton Avenue location, and stated that Greyhound would assist Mr.. Ryan in adding addi- ti.onal restroom facilities. Mr. Juarez stressed that he wished to see the location settled and enumerated the problems in changing locations, revi- sing routes, adjusting schedules and salaries. Fie explained the economics of the franchise and said that in other locations the rents were too high. Mr. Juarez believes that Greyhound wishes to serve the City, and that: the �e City needs Greyhound. IPA Mrs. Jane Hillsen, previous franchisee, said she believed that problems of auto and pedestrian traffic around the Colton Avenue depot are being over.- i emphasized; she pointed out that of the twelve daily busses, five arrive before or after business hours and she questioned any problem here.

Mayor DeMirjyn then stated that even a Peanut Stand would increase traffic and moved that Council investigate the Orange Street site; the motion was seconded by Councilman Martinez. The motion failed by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers DeMirjyn, Martinez NOES: Councilmembers Riordan, Gorman, Roth. ABSENT: None Mr. Leon Lapides, owner of Western Ag Lab, addressed Council- to stat : that he and his clients rely heavily on the Greyhound Bus for prompt service and urged Council to take action before the Greyhound service is :Lost to Redlands. Mr.. Bob Romero of the Redlands Daily Facts, which uses Greyhound`, regularly, informed Council that he goes to the present Colton Avenue location on a daily basis, that there is parking available, and that the drivers are very careful. Fie urged Council to make the present approval, permanent. or. Roth stated that he believed the Orange Street location had problems far greater than Council could solve, and that he Felt that further delay will ultimately lose Redlands the bus service; he then moved for a one year approval for this use on Colton Avenue with the following conditions: 1. There is at least one restroom added for customers. 2. There is plenty of seating inside and a bench outside. 3. There be no gaming machines; there may be coffee or food machines. 4.
