Greyhound Inter-city Bus Depot @ Woodman's (Popeye's Chicken)
Eastmorland Neighborhood Association Meeting
Lakeview Moravian Church – Tulane Avenue
Tuesday September 8 7:00pm
When the owners of the Badger Bus Depot on West Washington Avenue proposed to re-develop the site, Greyhound Bus lost a home. After a multi-site search throughout the city, Greyhound thought the former Popeye's Chicken building in the Woodman's parking lot would be the best interim (less than five years) location for providing inter-city bus services between Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
Unfortunately this is a "fast track" proposal because of the timeline for finding an alternate site. Greyhound felt that the location near Stoughton Road and the East transfer point was ideal. Ultimately they would like to connect with a inter-city train station for their approximately twelve daily scheduled bus trips. They also would need only half of the building and would hope that another restaurant would fill the other part of the building.
You are invited to the Eastmorland Community Association (ECA) regular monthly neighborhood meeting where Greyhound will present their conceptual plan for the site. We are still in the "discovery" phase, so please come prepared to ask questions.

I, for one, think that is a great use for the property. I realize that there might be some issues to explore, but it is nice to see the east side served and for a transportation company to locate near an existing transportation hub rather than continue to clog up a city street. This will be very beneficial even for those living on the west side since a bus to the East Transfer Point is much more accessible than the Memorial Union (or the Badger Bus for that matter).
