DATE: <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />M E M O R A N D U M <br />October 6, 1988 <br />Craig Waldron <br />Rick Jopke '� <br />Meeting with Bill Mack, Principal of Central Park <br />Elementary School. <br />I met with Bill Mack, the Principal of Central Park Elementary <br />School on October 5, 1988. I discussed with him the project <br />proposed for the Concordia School site across the street from the <br />school and we talked about his concerns about that project. Mr. <br />Mack indicated that he can see a benefit in the project in that <br />it would allow the school district to sell Capitol View School <br />and generate some cash to build the addition onto the elementary <br />school in Little Canada to meet future elementary school needs. <br />He also mentioned the fact that the proposal could generate <br />additional school kids which also helps generate additional funds <br />from the State. <br />� Mr. Mack stated that he had two concerns with the project which <br />he has mentioned to representatives from the neighborhood group <br />as well as the traffic consultants. His first concern is with <br />increased traffic on B2 and Dale. Mr. Mack indicated that he was <br />• concerned about the ability of the school buses getting in and <br />out of the site easily. He was concerned that additional traffic <br />would create a further bottleneck on B2 and make it more <br />difficult for the buses to operate. The location of the new road <br />onto B2 from the site would be close to their easterly driveway <br />onto B2. <br />Mr. Mack's second concern related to pedestrian safety, Mr. Mack <br />indicated that last year there were 25 kids who walked to school <br />and he was concerned about their ability to safely cross County <br />Road B2. He suggested that traffic signals and cross walks would <br />be helpful at the B2 and Dale intersection as well as the <br />intersection of the new road with B2. Mr. Mack stated that B2 <br />has been designated "a hazardous route" which means that a school <br />bus will pi�k up any kids who live along that route so that they <br />won't have to cross the street. This means that even kids living <br />immediately across the street would be picked up by bus if the <br />parents so desired. <br />I agreed to keep Mr. Mack informed about the progress of the <br />proposal. � <br />r1 <br />LJ <br />
