B.L. TRAEGER, 516 E. 24th Street, was present and spoke regarding
Route 12A (San Diego Transit Authority), there used to be a bus
stip at 13th and Roosevelt, and it has been taken out; there is a
bus stop at the corner of l2th to serve City Hall but the buses will
not stop there, the alternative being to walk down 13th Street or

behind a tree and some of the drivers do not see it; spacing,
service and bus stops that serve the Community are so fax apart as
