Commissioner Robert T. Gibbons
Department of Public Utilities
City of St. Paul, Minnesota
Dear Sir:
The St. Paul City Railway Company has requested authority from the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission to revise bus service in the Como Park area of
St. Paul by the consolidation of that section of the present Dale-Snelling
line with the Rice Street line as explained in detail in the attached
petition of the company.
This revision of routing would furnish direct service to the loop area of
St. Paul for the Como Park area as well as Falcon Heights. Its operation
would involve the use of Maryland Street between Rice Street and Dale Street
which is at present being paved, and consequently this operation could not
commence until the completion of the paving later this summer.
It is the ultimate plan when the railroad bridge at Rice and Ivy is repaired
that one-half of the Rice Street service shall proceed north to Arlington
and westerly on Arlington serving that rapidly developing area, the other
half remaining on Maryland. Until this bridge is repaired this route revision
will involve the elimination of the present service on the north three blocks
of the Rice Street line. The combination of these two lines, particularly
after the extension to Arlington, will constitute a distinct benefit in
rendering loop service to that area.
Upon this revision in route, the Snelling line will revert to a straight
crosstown line only, and the company has also requested the elimination of
midday service on the Dale Street line between Maryland and Grand Avenues,
rush hour service to remain.
Yours very truly,
Edwin F. Jone-
Utilities Engineer
