Mountain View heads back to school

Original post made on Aug 17, 2016

As if on cue at 7:45 a.m., Huff Elementary School went from a ghost town to a bustling center of activity Monday morning, as hundreds of children and their parents flooded onto the campus to start the new school year. Excitement and a little anxiety filled the air as the kids lined up and headed into their new classrooms, while the parents broke off for a much-needed cup of coffee.

You may have heard of them? Monta Loma (when is the facilities work going to start?), Mistral (Ditto), Castro, Landels, Stevenson (Ditto x3) and the one that starts with a T that no one mentions, which is in need of serious help. It's not all about Huff, MV Voice.

When is the district going to get its act together?

Monta Loma construction was delayed a year. It's slated to begin summer of 2017 and is currently scheduled to be finished late December 2017, though I'm not sure when construction will take place during that last half of August through December since school is in session.
So- answer- should be done December 31, 2017 or more likely between that date and summer of 2018 (if you consider how most construction schedules seem to go!).

....and like clockwork the level of vehicular buffoonery on the streets surrounding our schools is back to the red zone.

C'mon parents....you're driving your kids to school "ostensibly" for their safety (let me ride a flipping bike or walk, it won't kill them) how about you show a little regard for the safety of other people's kids and the rest of us on the road by not turning into a complete jerk once you've dropped off your precious little snowflake.

Around our school the issue is non-parents drivers looking for short-cuts. When the traffic around the schools increases, drivers seem to go crazy in their quest for an unfettered route. Speeds increase, people zoom up to stop signs and roll through them or slam on the breaks if kids are trying to cross the intersection. Its that behavior, on the side streets that is most dangerous IMO. The tell tale grinding sound of bumpers on speed bumps tells the tale. In June July we hardly heard it. Now that summer is over, so is the sound of people going too fast to try to zip through a perceived short cut.
