k Favors Taking Police Force Out Of Poli
Offers More Parking Space
By CARL HENN
Indianapolis Railways, Inc,
claimed today they can make available 14 more miles of parking space for city drivers if they
are permitted to institute a sys- |!
tem of “selective stops.” e
Elbert R. Gilliom, a company attorney, disclosed this in a presentation to the Indianapolis Safety Board today.
The system of selective stopsa
desired by the company would be, in effect, skip stops. For the most part it’ would mean buses
would stop at every other block |
rather than at every block. Aceording to the Railway's Arithmetic, they would be able to eliminate 921 present stops under théir proposed system,. thus making available for parking the 73,680 feet of curb space now re-
quired for the buses to slow-down and stop in.
Longer Walk
People now using those 921 stops whith would be abandoned under the proposal would have to walk an additional block for transportation. The transit firm's lawyer also,
Included in the summary a de-| fense of the company's policy of loading vehicles on the near-side of intersections. In near-side stops, the bus stops before it crosses the intersection. This requires a parking ban on a curb area long enough to permit it to slow down and pull in. In far-side stopping, advocated by many citizens, the bus stop is on the opposite side of the intersection and the vehicle utilizes the cross street area for part of its slow down and pull in space, thus releasing more space behind the stop for parking. ‘The company spokesman presented facts both pro and con on the subject concluding that the present nearside stops are best. Some far-side stops are in use in the downtown area.
