City Manager,
City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida.
Dear Sir:
Each sumlller, during the beach season, on Sunday.s, we have met Gulf Coast
buses from Tampa with oun buses, to facilitate handling people bound for the '
beach. We have fpund that if we dOl', not meet these bu.ses with extra excursion
schedules, the people go to other beaches, and our beach I' esidents suffer as a
result.
We therefore respectfully request permission to route our regular Sunday beach
buses via the Gulf Coast Bus Station, and provide extra buses to meet Gulf Coast
schedules a s necessary. Our ]'ranchise pro vides for excursi on and speci 81 service,
but we seek your approval anyway, since in the pa st taxi companies have complained.
about this operation. Cabs cannot possibly handle these beach crowds, and, as
stated above, we nave performed this service each summer. If we didn't, the
majority of these peope would go to the St. Petersburg beaches, becahse,there
they get direct beach bus connections. Those who prefer the prl vacy of' a cab
are willing to pay extra, and this service in no way conflicts vdth cab operations.
Very Truly yours,
L. Lester Crook
Manager

Gentlemen :
Laura Street, between North Ft. Harrison Avenue and Osceola Avenue,Lis, in
my opinion, to narrow at this time. I would like to cell to your
attention the need for widening of this thorougnfare from twenty (20) feet
to thirty (30) feet. Also the installation of parking meters.
If this could be done, it woo.ld relieve the traffic on Ft. Harrison Avenue
and Oleveland Street to a great extent.
I believe you are planning a parking lot on the new City ~ark. If these
plans are carried out, Laura Street can be the mein entrance to this
parking lot.
Laura Street can also be made a Fire Lane and Ambulance Lane to the Beach
and thus avoid any delay in reaching the island.
I respectfully submit to you to take prompt action in this matter and
sincerely. hope that you ~ill ccnsult the Fire Chief andClrlef of Po~ice.

Dear Sir: ' `
Each summer, during the beach season, on Sunda�s, we have met Gul1' Caas�G
buses from Tampa with oux buses, to facilitate handlino people 'b�unU for the
beach. '�Ve have f�und that iP we do�� not meet trese buses with extra excursion
schedules, the people gc� to other beaches, and our beach r esidents suffer as a
result.
VJe aherePare respectfully request permission to r�ute our reguler Sunday beaclz
buses vis the �ul� Coast Bus Station, and nrovide extra buses to meet Gul� coest
schedul�s as ne�,es�ary. Our Franchise pr�v�ides for excursion and special service,
but we s�ek your appioval anyWr�y, since in the past taxi companies have complained,
a�.�out this opei�ation. Cabs canno�c possibly handle these beach crov��ds, �nd, as
stated above, tive uave periormec'( this service each s:a.mmer. If we didn't, the
majority of these peo� would go t� 1�Y�z St. Petersburg beaches, bee,e,-ase-theTe
they �et direct b2ach bus connections. Those who prefer the pri;rbcy of a cab
are willing to pay extra, and this service in no �ay cauflicts with cala o�erations.
Very �'ruly yours, � .

Gent�emen:
Laura Street, bettrreen IJorth Ft. Harrison AvenuE and 9sceola kvenue,�,is, in
my �y'sion, t� narrow at this time. I would like to call to your
atten�ion the need for rvidening c� this thoroughfare from twenty (20} feet
to thirty (30) feet. Also the installation of paxking meters.
If this could be done, it would relieve the traffic on Ft, Harri�on Avenue
and Cleveland Street to a great extent.
I beli�¢e you are planning a parking lot on the new City �'ark. If these
plans are carried out, Zaura Street can be the main entrance to this
parking lot e
I,aura Street cail also be made a Fire Lane and l�mbulance Lane to the Beach
and thus avoid any delay in reaching the island.
I respectfull.y submit to you to take pra.mpt action in this matter and
sineerelp. hope that you wi11 consult the Fi.re Chief andGhief of Police.
