Marte questions SCA on student travel distance and transportation
Marte asks about average student travel distance and transportation impacts. Palton notes the site is about three walking blocks from the main Curtis building; Bender adds the building will be fully accessible and SCA works with DOT on safe drop-off and busing.
Thank you.
What's the average distance students will have to travel to attend this school?
How would it impact transportation needs and accessibility?
So I've walked.
I can't.
In fact, we were there a couple weeks ago.
It's pretty close.
It's about three walking blocks from the main building, so it's very walkable.
And just to add, to answer your questions about accessibility, although I don't think this is exactly what you're asking, the building will, of course, be fully accessible.
As far as transportation, when we design any new building, we're working closely with the Office of Pupil Transport and New York City Department of Transportation to ensure safe drop-off, safe busing, safe arrival and dismissal procedures for parents.
So that's something that we work very closely with New York City Public Schools and DOT on.
Great.
