10,000 cars could hit township streets during the morning and afternoon rush
After the total rejection of the state monitor at the polls and his failed referendum Lakewood police chief Rob Lawson is expecting 10,000 cars could hit township streets during the morning and afternoon rushes in according to a report in the APP. Once courtesy busing ends you will have 10,000 kids walking to school on Lakewood's dangerous roads. The Township Committee is looking to hire additional crossing guards to supplement officers assigned to traffic duty. Read more at APP.com

10,000 kids equal 10,000 cars, huh?
ReplyDeleteNothing will happen. The majority of the kids will still have busing. The remaining will need to decide whether to pay for their busing or do carpools (like every other Jewish community does now besides from Lakewood).
ReplyDelete"like every other Jewish community does" really? i don't know what every community does but i do know that brooklyn, five towns, far rockaway, staten island, monsey, and queens don't do that
DeleteYes, they do. There is a certain minimum distance that one needs to live from school in order to receive busing.
DeleteExplain the math to me: where exactly are 10,000 extra cars? Does anyone out there know of people who don't have at least one car on the road every day? I don't think there will be more than 500 cars added with the loss of courtesy bussing. It will take a couple of weeks for everyone to figure out carpooling and scheduling. There will just be more traffic in places like industrial park, where schools don't belong eitherway.
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeleteChief Lawson,I think the Florida sun fried your mind a little. Al Burge can use a shuffleboard partner.
