The numbers listed above indicate those <br />students that do not receive busing and must walk. They do not <br />necessarily reflect the students that are eligible for busing but choose <br />to walk. <br /> <br />b. The School District has the ability to designate areas close to the <br />school as "hazardous" and proceed to provide busing for students in <br />these areas. Currently, the School District has areas that they utilize <br />this approach. These would include areas east of TH 169 and north <br />of the Senior High in the School View area. Vera felt that some day <br />those areas south of School Street would be design~ted as hazardous <br />zones and students would be bused from them. <br /> <br />c. Vera indicated that she knew of no state law which prohibited <br />students from crossing a four lane road. This was in response to the <br />issues raised at the Public Hearing indicating that walking students <br />would not be allowed to cross School Street should it become a four <br />lane facility. She did indicate that an appropriate crossing location <br />would have to be designated. This could likely be at the intersection <br />of Freeport A venue with the installation of signals. The School <br />District would favor the construction of a sidewalk along the south <br />side of School Street to facilitate student movements to a crossing <br />area. <br /> <br />d. We raised the question about student traffic between schools, and <br />Vera indicated that there was no great amount of this. There is a <br />program where time is shared with non-public schools in the area, <br />but all of these students are bused. <br /> <br />e. Vera was asked once again about the amount of bus traffic to factor <br />into the reanalysis of traffic issues. She indicated that the <br />information that was gathered 18 months ago when the initial traffic <br />study was performed would still be valid. Therefore, this <br />information was utilized for the reanalysis of traffic in the area. <br /> <br />The second issue relative pedestrian movements would be facilities associated <br />with the proposed development to facilitate normal pedestrian movements <br />throughout the area. In accordance with the Park and Recreation <br />Commission recommendations from their February 3, 1993, meeting, it is <br />proposed that Freeport Avenue from School Street to Jackson Avenues <br /> <br />. -7- <br /> <br />230-152-10 <br />
