Three River Montessori March 31, 2020 Transportation Narrative The proposed project is the reuse of the upper level of an existing office building at 17267 Yale Street, for a new building for Three River Montessori. The project calls for the rehabilitation of the upper level of the existing building with limited changes to the site, except to improve student drop off and pick up operations. Once complete, the remodeled building will serve approximately 75-students, beginning in the 2020-2021 school year. The school anticipates an enrollment of 80-students with approximately 65% using provided bus service and the other 35% coming by car. Based on the listed percentages, approximately 52-students would be bused and we are providing bus staging one full-sized (35-students) bus and on smaller bus (17- students). Assuming approximately 35% arrive by car leads to approximately 28-students. Typically, there are 1.5-students per car, which equates to approximately 20-car “transactions” at pickup and drop-off times. The two critical times for school transportation planning are the morning drop-off and afternoon pick- up. The attached diagrams show the proposed staging for each critical time period and how the above noted staging is accomplished. Morning Drop-off (a.m.) Due to the naturally staggered timing of morning drop-offs, this time period is much less demanding on a site. Both cars and buses will use the drop-off lane adjacent to building under the canopy. Given the naturally staggered drop-offs, all vehicles will be on-site and we do not anticipate any cars staging on Yale Street. Afternoon Pick-up (p.m.) In the afternoon, when most students are dismissed relatively simultaneously, we anticipated staged buses to be parked in the drive aisle closest to the building. Once loaded, buses will have the right-of- way over the staged cars and generally pull out at the same time. Cars will stage in the lane(s) closest to Yale Street and stage side-by-side as the width of the lane allows as shown in the attached diagram. While buses are staged and filling, cars will be allowed to load and exit the site. Additional cars, may also stage in the entrance drive to the lower lot. The afternoon pick-up diagram shows staging on-site for 12-cars simultaneously. Although there is a greater likelihood of cars arriving simultaneously in the afternoon, we anticipate that there will still be 5- to 10-minutes of timing stagger for the 20 cars estimated to be picking up and that vehicles will not need to stage on Yale Street.
