Re: Bus Loop - Wellington Street — Greenmount Park

The Parks & Recreation Committee has been asked to comment on
the proposed bus turn around on Wellington Street encroaching into Green~

mount Park. The turning radius of the buses in operation is 49.8 feet.

It is therefore apparent a eircle of 120 feat diameter would be required ’
in order to provide for a satisfactory bus turn around. Because Welling-

ton Street is only 33 feet wide at the suggested turn around point, this

would mean that the encroachment into Greenmount Park would be at least

97 feet. The Committee cannot agree to such an encroachment and has no
choice but to recommend that an alternative be found.
