City transit system buses. It is also requested to permit school buses to stop in front of

permitted to stop at all spaces designated for the loading or unloading of passengers of
the City transit system buses.
2. School buses owned by, or operated under contract for, a public school district be
permitted to stop in front of public and private driveways on residential and collector
streets to load or unload school children. This provision does not apply to secondary and
major highways.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 95-1.
