I was amazed - make that shocked - to learn that children from the Whisman neighborhood were assigned to Huff School, which makes no geographic or demographic sense, and must be terribly difficult for parents and their children. AND makes it very difficult (read nightmare) for everyone else trying to traverse Grant Road at 8 AM or 3 PM, thanks to the gridlock created by parents dropping off or picking up their children.(In fact, a school crossing guard was badly injured last year by someone speeding to get through the traffic light, no doubt having waited through 2 or 3 cycles in order to reach the intersection.) The gasoline wasted, the air polluted and the mental wear and tear on everyone involved caused by this situation are indefensible and unsustainable.
