Plans for the installation of two more motor coach lines along the North Shore, one to traverse Sheri-) dan road from Chicago to Winthrop Harbor and possibly beyond and the -. other to run from Evanston to Lib- uvrtyvtTle, via, Dempster" street and Milwa'ukee road, became known last week through the filing of an appli- __ Luau for establishment of such lines by the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee railroad with the Illi- nois Commerce commission. PLAN MOTOR COACH LINE ALONG SHORE rhmaa'y. July 4, 1989 the to Traverse Sheridan Road, _ According to Petition to Commerce Body Filing of the petition by this rail- road caused some surprise among members of the commission as it was generally understdod _that the railroad co.mpeiny had disposed of its motor coach lines to the Metropoli- ttrrr 'MBttyr-Ctitreh-eomptuty. .7 T 1* Théepemions- Ffrriitly-/FW't1T-Shii"iTi" rio:oiiupi.ilsgtcettififates of ‘con- visr1Mtee"iiiitr")fieds,rsitsr provide for the bllowing lines.: .' . _ From the.city ‘of Chicago to .the state line of Wisconsin, passing through Evanston, Wilmette, Kenil- worth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Loki: Forest, Lake Bluff, North Chicag6,7Wauhegan, Zion and Win-, thr'op' Harbor. . Also from the city-of Chicago to the city of Evanston and thence west on Main sfreet to Lincoln avenue and Dempster street thence west to Mil- waukee avenue and then north to Libertyville. A third line which will proceed mm Chicago to Eviuistori, thence west .on Waukegan road and then north to Glenview is also provided forjn the petition. The route of this line out of Evanston' is not Stated. Three Lines to Evanston Under the plan the railroad will operate three motor coach lines into arid out of the city of Evanston. It is also pointed out that in each ‘case the proposed motorcoach lines parallel the lines of the North Shore railroad company but in the case of l Sheridan road routing it is considered likely that the company" seeks to operate busses on this highway be- cause of its attractiveness and prob- ably because of the possibility of ob- taining many passengers for short hauls through the residential sections of the North Shore communities. N in Val! "easis the' petition provides for motor coach lines tpr the carry- ing of both passengers arid baggage.
