To the City Council
Gentlemen:
'o
The citizens
of the Bristol Drive & Dubuque Road
Area would appreciate your 'consideration
:in extending 'city bus
service to our area. The North
Dodge bus has a nine minute lay-
over on Caroline Avenue on
all but three runs per day. We feel
this would be sufficient time to make the run down Dubuque Road
and Bristol Drive making bus
''service available to 60-70,people.
on these.two streets alone.
Your consideration in this matter
would be much appreciated.
