Bus rider has her say on Whittier bus stop issue
Next year when the Whittier City Council considers the plea by Richard Gill, owner of Uptown Gym, 12912 Philadelphia St., to move a bus stop in front of his business, at least one bus rider wants to have her say too.
Linda Pvieg, 68, of Whittier, who is legally blind, called the Daily News this week to say that stop is important to her.
"I catch the bus at Philadelphia and Milton," she said. "Once they start removing bus stops to suit everyone else, there won't be a bus stop." "It makes it very hard on people who like myself who have no access but by bus."
The council is expected to consider the issue at its Jan. 12 meeting. Gill requested the moving of the stop, saying it costs him parking, there are bus fumes, dust, cigarette smoke and loitering in front of his business.
