<br />
<br /> SThe Portsmouth Transit Company has surveyed the bus operations, dis -
<br />cussed at the meeting with your Committee on Thursday, October 6th,.1949, ~ wish_ to submit
<br />herewith our findings ~ud recon~mendations on each cf the subjects discussed.
<br />
<br /> A. The petition from the residents of the North Truxton section for
<br />service into that new development.
<br /> The Portsmouth.Transit Company can serve this area by operating a
<br />turn-back service into this section d~ing rush hours, smd by re-routing the Piedmont-Truxton
<br />Line d'~ing non-~msh hours. At the present time~ the service on the Piedmont Truxton Line
<br />sists of a turn-back service to Dale Street and Gosport Road, plus ~ae original line to Doug-
<br />las Park. The operators on the Dale Street turn-back service are unable to meet th~i~ sche-
<br />dules at this time in the non-rush periods; therefore, a ftu~ther extension of this turn-back
<br />service into North Truxton can not be made during the non-rush hours. It is proposed to oper-
<br />ate the Douglas Patak Line exactly as it is now operated during rush hours and to re-route and
<br />extend the line into the North Truxton section during non-rush hours. The ~mshh our service
<br />into the North Truxton section would be orovided by a cut-back service, begim~ing in this sec-
<br />tion. -
<br /> The proposed Douglas ~ark ~oute during non-rush hours wo~ld be as
<br />follows: Along the present route to Gosport Road and Deep Creek Boulevard; along Deep Creek
<br />Boulevard to Dowries Street, along Dove, es Street to Armistead Drive, along Armistead Drive to
<br />Dale Street, along Dale Street to Gosport Road and thence over the present route to Douglas
