Consultant work on school traffic patterns will inform changes before term starts, officials say
Summary
Ty and Bond completed observations at several problem schools and will submit recommendations on internal circulation and bus routing; the administration emphasized getting recommendations before making changes once classes resume.
The subcommittee received an update on the district’s traffic-pattern study conducted by Ty and Bond and discussed timing for implementing changes. The consultant has prioritized Letourneau, Talbott, Watson, Westall and Green for detailed observation; officials said they would hold final pattern changes until the consultant's recommendations are complete so adjustments can be made before problems emerge in September.
As one member summed up the timing concern, “The time to do it is now,” noting that making changes after school starts would cause disruption. The administration said internal circulation fixes and bus-routing options (including use of an underpass to queue buses) were among measures to be finalized and shared with principals ahead of the school year.
