CUSD 201 proposes extended on-site bus lane, plans to acquire seven adjacent properties
Summary
District facilities director outlined a plan to extend the on-site bus lane to Grant Street, accommodate 6—6 buses on district property, and acquire seven properties east of Miller to lengthen the lane roughly fourfold.
Joe Smith, director of facilities for CUSD 201, described the proposed bus lane and property acquisitions at the Miller site. He said the bus lane entrance would be "right here close to Washington Street" and that the proposal would extend the lane "all the way down" to Grant Street so buses remain on district property rather than queuing on Traub Avenue.
Smith said the expanded lane would allow the district to fit "all 6 to 7 buses that are used to drop the kids off" on site and that acquiring seven properties east of Miller would "allow us to extend the bus lane all the way down here to Grant [Street]" and "essentially lengthen our bus lane by about 4 times its current length." He described the change as intended to reduce traffic backups on Traub Avenue; acquisition details and timeline were not specified.
