This past winter the school bus loading zone was temporarily moved from Broadway to Somerset Street. This experiment was conducted while snow banks were near their seasonal high mark. Moving the bus stop was determined to have been a success by all involved. It eliminated long traffic backups on Broadway at the beginning and end of the school day and when sports teams were leaving and arriving. This amendment will make this change permanent. It moves the bus zone to Somerset, two handicapped parking spaces from Somerset to Broadway, and allows for parking in front of the school.
