During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the location of the new bus depot at Fort Washington Elementary. A board member expressed disappointment with the chosen site, highlighting ongoing traffic issues on Highland Avenue, particularly during school opening and closing times. Despite the installation of a \"no double parking\" sign, the member noted that vehicles continue to line up, causing congestion that extends to the 309 off-ramp.

The board member questioned the adequacy of the traffic study conducted for the bus depot, specifically whether it addressed the impact on the 309 access route. While the study included comments about Highland Avenue and the busy intersection near the school, there was a lack of analysis regarding the potential effects of bus traffic on the 309 access. The member emphasized the need for a reevaluation of the bus access route, suggesting that an alternative location might alleviate the anticipated traffic challenges posed by the influx of buses.
