Conversion of the public reservation abutting Pennsylvania avenue on the south between Seventh and Ninth streets into a site for a central bus terminal is being considered by the District Commissioners, it was learned today. The parking which houses a public convenience station at Seventh street, according to Engineer Commissioner Bell, Is unsightly and Is an excellent debris catcher in its present condi- tion. As a central bus terminal will be desirable in this section when the plans for winding B street to the Memorial Bridge approach are carried out and the public buildings program gets underway, Commissioner Bell in- dicated that the reservation may be turned into a site for its erection.
