[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for updating us OP. What grade are you in? What is the drive time for you now that you're doing it?[/quote]

I will add that the area around DCI and Bridges has become a nightmare. There are no less than 6 crossing guards and it is a zoo. I imagine the drop off alone would take 15-20 minutes for someone driving.[/quote]

It's so bad that it is fucking up the commutes trying to get to the other side of the Green Line (both heading east and heading west) from the other access points as well.  I'm hoping that things settle down as people figure out their routines and shortcuts.[/quote]

I honesty can't imagine a worse intersection in the entire city. It's messing up North Capitol, South Dakota, Riggs, Missouri, Kennedy. It was even bad when I went through it at 9:30am. [/quote]

At 9:30, the problem wouldn't have been either school -- DCB starts its day at 8, and Bridges opens its doors to kids at 8:20. By 9:30, anyone still arriving for either school would be very late. I think it's just a bad intersection, regardless of the schools being there.[/quote]

That's my point. With construction trucks using this route (cutting through as opposed to going via South Dakota) adds even more drama. But even turning from Riggs to go to DCI takes 4-5 lights in itself. I would stay far far away from this area. Even at 9:30, there were 3 crossing guards working which adds more complexity. [/quote]
