Hi Carolyn,
I reviewed the map you sent me. I would ask that the developer place the school bus shelter on the
Glendale Road side. The placement will allow me to service the residents with full size buses as
opposed to vans which are servicing Westhampton Road at this time.
If you require anything else from me please call me at ex:1337. Thank you for your consideration on
this matter.

Subject: Proposed school bus shelter
Joy-
The Planning Board will be reviewing a 24 lot subdivision for approval at its Jun 9 hearing. As required, the
applicant has submitted a proposed location for a school bus shelter on the plans. This proposed new street will
connect Glendale Road to Westhampton Road as shown on the attached PDF plan. The bus shelter is located
near the intersection of the new street and Westhampton Road. I asked the applicant why this site was selected
over a location near to Glendale Road.
It does not appear that the applicant has had any conversation with you about this siting. The response was that
they felt that it would be better on this end since there is a shelter at the Ridge Subdivision also off of
Westhampton Road just west of this location.
Could you please look at the attached plans and make sure that this bus stop location is the preferred
location? Is it the appropriate side of the street or location along the street?
Thanks very much.
