[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one on staff or SB is going to change their mind about making Nottingham an option because you argue it’s too many buses. The buses will go wherever ATS goes. The fact that you keep arguing this shows how narrow minded your focus is. This is not about bus fumes in Nottingham. Try another argument. Maybe a new change.org petition. Try the governor. [/quote]

All we want on the buses is for them to do a study of how they'd handle the traffic. We don't have the bus lane to accommodate all of those buses, so how are they going to manage them without blocking northbound Ohio Street, where will the parents driving their kids to school go if they don't have a drop-off lane, where will they add crossing guards so that kids who need to cross 16th and/or Ohio to walk to Tuckahoe can be safe when they're crossing paths with a dozen buses and 50+ cars, etc. If they do the study and show us a solid plan for how Nottingham will accommodate it all, then we will let up on the bus issue.

I like how Discovery does traffic.  36th St. N. is one way at certain times of the school day.  [b]Can we just do the same thing with Ohio street?  That would help manage the traffic and buses around Nottingham.[/b][/quote]

Excellent idea. Please raise this to APS at some point.

Interesting - is this common at other Elementary Schools in Arlington?  Making streets one way in the morning/afternoon to manage traffic?  This allows Ohio to be the bus dropoff from 29th.  Could 30th/31st be blocked as well?  This would allow Nottingham to take a bunch of buses.[/quote]
