City Directors Doris � %Arrnk,r—rete. , has said the gas station isn't a destination venue and would serve the existing traffic in the area, not create addi- tional congestion.

The gas pumps also would be placed closer to Arch Street to encourage customers to enter from Arch and Third instead of from Broadway.
