City Council,
Port Townsend, Washington.
Gentlemen: We have moved our bus terminal from the Central Hotel to Baker's
in
ri
Drug Store, a more convenient location for the public our opinion.
y�}}r
Our present arrangement with the Black & 'White Taxi people to use their
n
parking stand for perbLaps ten minutes around 9:30 a.m, and 5:10 p.m. is a
makeshift, which deprives the taxi company of its stand at bus time when people
J
I
arrive from out of town and need a taxi, We are therefore petitioning the City
Council for a bus stand on Dater Street in front of Bakers Drug Store to be
kept open for our bus from 9:20 to 9:40 a.m. and from 5:05 to 5:25 p.m.
R"Iry
t
1c,

Vie are investing considerable amounts of money and effort in this bus
{
S
enterprise. If our enterprise is successful, one of its main results will be
i
to bring increasing numbers of people to Port Townsend. One of the conveniences
p
these people demand is a safe place to board and get off a bus. Such a place
should be neat to the sidewalk in a readily accessible central location. Boarding'
a bus or getting off in the street While the bus is double parked is not safe,
r
convenient or satisfactory for the public.Yf''
i es
Old�:r people who do not drive automobiles constitute a lagge portion of our
f
local passengers. It is.much easier for them to get off or board a bus fnem the
sidewalk than from the street because of the height of the step. They would
ii
especially appreciate your courtesy in providing a definite bus stand.
Yours very truly,
