<br /> "Sometime ago-we received a Petition from.the residents of Laurel Garden and Windsor
<br /> Park areas requesting service from New Suifolk Blvd., along ¥orkshire~Road, Chumley, Brunswick., Elm Lane, Ext.,
<br /> Yorkshire, No~ttingham, Tudor to Hedges Ferry Road. As Non can readily see from the attached sketch, this will
<br /> involve numerous turns and we are, therefore, net in accord with this request.
<br />
<br /> We are, however, agreeable ~o a re-routing alon~ Yorkshire Ber '
<br /> Hedges Ferry ~Road which we believe will ..... .~A . ~ ~ , kshire, Vancouver and
<br /> ~v~ ~ majority ct our patrons.iht his area in a more efficient manner
<br /> We shall be glad to put this change into eff~ct'u~on'authorization from you and
<br /> after a reasonable time .to advise our patrons. (Signed) Henry L Miller Mana-er
<br />
<br /> "In reply to yo~ letter inclosing copy of petition in reference to rou~ing the
<br />Simonsdale bus down Byers Ave., past Simonsdale school to City Park Ave., or through City Park to Park Manor.
<br />You will ac doubt recall that this routing was tried early in July, but since it went through, the sparsely
<br />Populated areas, such as City Park and the cemetery, the roate was discontinued We feel that the rou~i~ along
<br />Vice St. divides fairly evenly~the ~erritory.between Suf£olk Blvd. and mJo~nson Ave. and is quite close to most
<br />of the addresses listed on the petition -- 'and therefore recommend that the present routing should no~ be
<br />changed." (Signed) R.A. Plant."
