owned lots provide 700 to 800 parking spaces for customers and the Village has 700,
and no new commuter parking is planned. The manager said the cost for commuter parking

per day be approved.

the feasibility study to be contracted within 90 days of the recommendation.

spent to refurbish.the present railroad station. 'The railroad has no money and it would
be'about 10 years before action.is taken. Mr. Allen Meyer of the VCDC a second stop
would relieve congestion in the downtown area, and suggested two platforms. Plan Com =._
mission member Arthur Rollin proposed a temporary platform at the Brickyards during
the Edens construction, the trains to be operated on a skip -stop basis. He said the
owner of the Brickyards has indicated he would be amenable. Trustee Heisler stated he
would be amenable to parkirIg at the Brickyards but felt a bus should take commuters
