Transportation Appeal
A delegation from Mulhurst Estates attended the meeting to appeal a decision of administration to establish a central bus stop in the subdivision. Affected parents presented their safety concerns to the Board and questioned why door to door service was changed. Concerns included no sidewalks, narrow roads, no streetlights, congestion at the chosen stop and safety throughout the winter months.
The Board reviewed the information and determined that door to door service will be reinstated for the 2019 - 2020 school year and further exploration will be considered to determine if a compromise can be obtained.
