Gerald Bernard, assistant district construction engineer on the Route 123 paving project in Norton, said in a phone interview, that his crews will break for winter as soon as the temperature drops too low for asphalt seals to form over the day’s construction. Bernard anticipates the work clearing the storm drains on Route 123 will most likely end in mid-December and resume in late March or early April. Joseph C.

Brown said a parent told her it took them 25 minutes to pass through town, with the construction delays on Route 123. Since the changing of bus schedules in September of 2004, placing the JCS School as the last of five School routes, JCS parents often expressed dissatisfaction with the change, which brings many students home in the dark during the winter months.

For the first time, smaller School Buses are soon to be equipped with lap and shoulder seat belts and larger Buses will get higher seat backs. Larger Buses will not be required to install seatbelts due to seat capacity needs. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters explained, "We wanted to make sure that any measures we put forth don't needlessly limit the capacity of the Buses and then force that School or that School district to have more children walking, riding with parents, biking, etc." The new safety law will not take effect until 2011. ...
