[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive my kid to Churchill because teenagers need more sleep than a 7:45 AM school start allows (as discussed many times on this forum).    He gets almost an extra 30 minutes of sleep by being driven to school instead of  taking the bus (with its multiple stops and roundabout route).     I have not encountered traffic problems at Churchill when we arrive at 7:25 AM.    The new traffic patterns are certainly an improvement from last year.

My kid always takes the bus home.[/quote]

Just curious - which loop are you using to drop off? Trying to see if I changed routes if that makes a difference.[/quote]

Agree with extra 30 mins of sleep. Buses pick up VERY early.

Here's the primary red light running problem I've seen over the years: the parents coming from Gainsborough south of Tuckerman toward the school in the morning (continuing on Gainsborough through the intersection). Between 7:35 and 7:45 look out -- they are trying to get their kids to school on time and I've seen 2-3 in a row go through a red light to do it. Not just one racing through a yellow, multiple cars on the red. AND, there's a crosswalk there that they blow through. Student pedestrians are at risk there.[/quote]
