Seven plaintiffs led by Pauline Phillips and represented by Samuel E Beecher Jr seek a temporary restraining order in Vigo Circuit Court to stop a truck terminal project between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets and Fifth and Sixth avenues. The Terre Haute City Planning Commission and City Council are named respondents. The move cites a 1947 zoning law requiring a commission recommendation and a strong council vote.
