[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Reed site has no bus lane, up to now it’s accommodated a few buses in the street parking lane.  In order to accommodate 13 buses worth of option students, they’d have to raze the athletic fields, which are heavily used for baseball and soccer.  Is it better for kids across the county to have field space be even more limited than it is now?[/quote]

Too bad, so sad.[/quote]

I don’t see why they need to raze the fields. ASFD is mostly bused and it’s bus lane holds 3 buses and it’s fine.

ASFS? They use both lanes of the circle for buses and seem to get 7-8 buses in there at once. They also have a block of no-parking street space for waiting buses to queue. And it’s still a CF.

ASFS does not use "both lanes" to get 7-8 buses in there at once-- a bus may be able to pass-through on the left if there are busses on the right (and it's a half-circle that can only hold 3 buses at a time) but they can't stop and drop children double-parked.  And there is no block of no-parking street space-- there is half a block on one side of the street that is reserved for a drop off/pick up lane so the busses queue in the street (often blocking whoever is in the front of the drop-off/pick-up lane.   And it can be a CF at times but guess what, it lasts no more than 5 minutes and then all is right with the world.  I'm sure folks around Reed could adjust twice a day for a few minutes during drop offs and pick ups, especially since they can use their parking lot (ASFS' lot is too small to hold buses/is closed off during drop-off and pick-ups).
