The members of the BuddhistChurch of Lodi have some serious concerns about the
Greyhound Pus depot being proposed for the corner of Stockton and Pine Streets. We would
like to see these questions answered before any final decision is made on this matter.
1. What plans are therefor the public safety of people who cross Stockton Street?
We have many people crossing the street for either parking or other functions, i.e.
Sr. citizens lunch program, services, cultural programs, and conferences. The potential
for increased traffic directly and indirectly attributable to the bus depot raises the
question of what steps are being taken to assure the safety of people crossing the street,
especially the children and elderly. _
2. What guarantees do we have that our parking spaces will not be filled with.
people associated with the bus depot?
At this time, we have an amiable working relationship with the neighboring businesses
in that we allow them to use our parking when we do not need it, but they make it a
point to keep it open when we need it. They do not park there when we have funerals
and other services and on weekends. However, in the case of a bus depot there does
not seem to be any guarantee that the owner of the vehicle.can be contacted to move
the vehicle when necessary. If this occurs, we may be forced to consider some means
of securing the parking lots and/or having vehicles towed and such action could lead
to strained relations with the neighboring businesses.
3. The church has been allowed to close Stockton Street for the Obon bazaar in
July for the past twenty t thirty years. Will we still be able to do so if the bus depot
is operating on Pine and Stockton. Streets?
The Obon bazaar with the street dancing i`s an important religious event in our tradition
as well as a cultural event for the community and a fund raiser for the church. If we
were not allowed to close the street from traffic, it would greatly impair our ability
to safely hold this event and make it difficult for the people of the community to attend.
There are also concerns as to the noise, litter, and loitering problems as well as questions of
the hidden costs, such as what would happen to our insurance rates, but the major concerns
are those listed.above.
We would appreciate your serious consideration on these matters before any decision
is made on this matter.
