Were impacts to school and daycare bus routes and schedules taken into consideration when the route was chosen?

Black Gold School Division and the daycare that operates out of the Ken Nichol Recreation Centre were individually contacted by the City of Beaumont's Infrastructure division to brief them of the pilot project and expected transportation impacts to their respective routes. The ELA route does not impact the daycare busses. Communications and coordination with both groups will continue with the project team as well as ongoing review of the transportation impacts along the route throughout the pilot project, as needed.
