Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-93-42 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PREMISES PERMIT FOR CELEBRITY BOWL CHARITIES, INC. PULL TABS OPERATION AT FALCON LANES, 1550 W. LARPENTEUR DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE WAYS TO ASSIST DISABLED CITIZENS WHO HAVE ACCESSIBILITY PROBLEMS AT BUS STOPS FOLLOWING SNOW STORMS As requested by council at the November 24th council meeting, staff presented ideas for arranging for snow removal from bus stops that are routinely used by disabled individuals. Following the discussion, council agreed that a display ad be placed in local papers inviting disabled persons who rely on routine transit service and are impeded by lack of snow removal, contact the city about the bus stop they use. City staff will then attempt to have the snow removed by a nearby business owner or resident on a regular basis. Neighborhood watch captains will also be asked to assist in this project by arranging for clearing of these stops.
