I think it is a bad idea,as a mother and a taxpayer. Just tell us where is the extra money going to? Someone expecting a raise this year?

I have to add, that I am one of those rare full-time working moms in my area, and my kids go to a babysitter in Briar Crest, if they drop the bus routes, my babysitter will have to pack up all the kids she watches twice a day and haul them back and fourth to Harmony, and I don't want that to happen especially when the roads are bad in the winter. It is a stupid proposal. And are the angry parents going to have a chance to state their opinions at a meeting with the busing company and the School District or is this going to be one of those things where they just do it and don't care what we think? We just pay for it anyway with our outrageous taxes.

Isn't there a better way to save money than to cut the busing. My god I could never trust my 8 year old to walk that far to school. I live clear over by Penny's daycare. He would have to leave at like 6 am to make it that far to school. They have had busing this long for a reason. We need to focus on what is important, saving money or the safety of our children.

There is no way I will let my 6 yr old walk 2 miles to school. I drove it today and I am exactly 2 miles from Harmony. My son would have to cross 8 streets to get to school. I understand that we have been fortunate with the current bus route. But the school dist. is just going to end up using the $11,000 in savings and re-construct a drop off lane or better parking lot for Harmony. Drop off and pick ups are dangerous right now I can't imagine what it is going to be like next year with that many more vehicles driving there.

as far as eliminating routes, they only have to provide bus service within the 2 mile range until a certain age, i believe it s 3rd grade after that they are on their own

they are now redoing the road , you think they are gonna skip the bike lane ? beside s janesville wants sidewalk s down the whole road not just certain parts of it , these people have already lost approx, 30 ft of their front yards, now with sidewalks, it will be another 5or 6 feet, then you add in the fact they cant park on the street because both sides are no parking, after they took most of their driveways where are they suppose to park? milton school district goes all the way down to briar crest, if you take a drive out there that portion already has bike lanes installed

sorry, I mean 3 more morning routes.

etown, there is no bike lane on Rotamer Rd, where the articles is referring to. And I think the bike lane in the street is the dumbest thing ever. I won't let me kids ride their bikes there because it is to close to the road!
I don't know how riteway can eliminate 3 evening routes. Right now my kids ride the bus to and from school and almost every seat has 3 kids sitting in it already.

what makes no sense they have already installed bike lanes on this road, taken part of the residents property to have them there, now they want sidewalks?

Oh, that wouldn't work out very well for us. I hope they don't cut our route but understand the reasoning.
