Decision on temporary bus terminal put off for a week

It will be next week before city councillors decide on a temporary site for a south side bus terminal while a new courthouse is being constructed.   Councillors voted Monday to send back the issue to administration for more information.  There was concern about the preferred site on Donald Street from Archibald to Syndicate Avenues, which was selected by Transit.   It followed a presentation by area residents who were concerned what such a terminal would have on their quality of living.    Instead some councillors appeared to favour a temporary site at City Hall and wanted to hear back from administration on the pros and cons of that location.
