This would be an interim station until the railroad tracks are straightened out and intermodal at 5th & I Streets is built. That's gonna be a long while, but it is the plan.<BR/><BR/>You can look at it under a cynical eye, or a realistic one. Right now the station is in a ghetto of urban blight.

I just hope the intermodal station gets built within my lifetime!Daniel Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733642387017644152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14666781.post-89782561768684170702008-01-09T08:56:00.000-08:002008-01-09T08:56:00.000-08:00My gut reaction to the story in the Bee was - so t...My gut reaction to the story in the Bee was - so they are moving the City's biggest "Crime Magnet" to the outskirts of town so people downtown can forget about the crime that is happening at the greyhound station and enjoy an attractive new building. If the new location will be co-located with a proposed police station though I supposed conditions could improve. <BR/><BR/>It still seems a bit Chris and Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319419891681073846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14666781.post-77252814903575056552008-01-08T18:29:00.000-08:002008-01-08T18:29:00.000-08:00there are quite a few bus lines on Richards alread...there are quite a few bus lines on Richards already, and moving bus routes takes a couple weeks - just to post notice at the stops.
