Murtha seconded the motion . All members in favor. Mr . Franceschi , DRA was present with two of their consultants Mike Abend , traffic consultant and Bill Hadge, GZA to report to the Committee. Mike Abend , Abend Associates presented a draft traffic report for review by the Committee . He feels both sites can work from a traffic standpoint. There is no major congestion or safety problems by developing either site. He has some preference for the Rte 130 site because it is closer to the students . Based on the planning district map he came up with at "total student miles" to and from each school- Rte 130 came out as 1 . 2 miles per student and 151 site as 1 . 9 miles per student which is 27% further away on average , per student. He reviewed how many students would be within walking distance of 1 mile . Rte 130 had 398 students within 1 mile and 151 had 123 students . This means the facilities are available after school , it is more convenient and accessible . Mr . Franceschi stated they can quantify the busing costs . Mr . Martiros asked if the shopping traffic on 151 was considered? It is a busy read and he thinks this high school will add more traffic . Mr . Abend took into account that it is a much busier street. He thought the performing arts center somewhat irrelevant to the analysis. Route 151 has more capacity , more flexibility and can be widened easier. Mr. Abend used distribution of students to decide where people would be turning , that will change somewhat with staff , deliveries, etc. 1
