Mario Portilla approached the podium and stated again that he resided at 3 Ardmore Road. He asked Mr. Maltz if he noted the cars, going south bound on Gregory Avenue, turning left into the school driveway and asked if there were one or two lanes at that point. Mr. Maltz said that there is one lane until you get to the traffic signal at Northfield Avenue. Mr. Portilla asked if he thought cars had enough room to go around the car turning into the Gregory Avenue driveway. Mr. Maltz said that it seems to be right in the area where the road widens. He said that if a car was stopped to make a left turn they probably would have room to get by. Mr. Portilla stated that he has seen cars having to stop and wait and Mr. Maltz said that was probably not an unusual occurrence. Ifthikar Rehman approached the podium and stated that he lived at 1 Ardmore Road. He asked Mr. Maltz if he did a count of the cars on Ardmore Road in the morning. Mr. Maltz stated that he did not. Mr. Rehman stated that cars park in front of his house every morning. Chairman Neuer told Mr. Rehman that this is not the time for comments and he can comment at the end. Getachew Lemma approached the podium and stated that he lived at 6 Ardmore Road. He asked Mr. Maltz what they will be doing about the road behind the school going out to Northfield Avenue. Mr. Maltz stated that it is not a road; it is a driveway. He said the only difference is that the buses will not enter that driveway and have to make a k-turn to exit but they will enter the Gregory Avenue driveway and make a u-turn to exit on Northfield. Mr. Lemma asked Mr. Maltz if they are taking a portion of the playground area out. Mr. Maltz stated that the playground area will be paved for the buses to exit. Chairman Neuer stated that Mr. Maltz did not testify to that. Prathamesh Devre approached the podium and stated that he lives at 19 Gregory Avenue. He asked Mr. Maltz if his statistics were based on a one day study. Mr. Maltz replied yes. Mr. Devre asked Mr. Maltz if he thought one day was statistically enough time to base his decisions in his report. Mr. Maltz replied he did think it was enough time and said that he has been there many days; not just one day. Mr. Devre asked how many more cars does he think there will be with 325 students. Mr. Maltz replied up to thirteen. Chairman Neuer recessed at 9:36 pm and stated that when the Board
