[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rising 6th grader headed to the Eastern magnet. We haven’t heard anything about transportation cb angels. I’m concerned to see the list of replacement stops shared earlier in this thread. We just went from a safe, walkable stop to a 29 minute walk that requires either walking through the woods or along Randolph Road.

This alone makes me want to decline and return to our home school because I can’t leave work early to pick my kid up from this new stop.[/quote]

That stinks. When my kid was at Eastern, we also didn’t have a walkable stop. My kid did afterschool band, so was typically getting home later on the activity bus, which was easier for us to meet after work. Our kid would also sometimes take the bus to the library and wait for us there, but it looks like several library stops are being eliminated too. I now have a different kid at Blair and we still have to figure out every day how they are getting home without an easily walkable bus stop. The transportation challenges for magnet programs are a real family commitment.  Are there any public bus routes that might help you?[/quote]
