In May, residents voted down a proposition that would have allowed the district to relocate the bus garage near Phillips Avenue Elementary School in Riverside. The district later announced it would create a transportation committee and asked for volunteers to apply in September.
VHB Engineering, Surveying and Landscape Architecture was awarded a $22,500 contract on Feb. 11 to conduct a traffic survey and environmental study of a 6-to-8 acre lot located near the intersection of Edwards Avenue and Route 25 in Calverton. The property is owned by Edward Partridge.
Ms. Carney has said the location is attractive because a hauling company currently operates there and would be a cost-effective purchase for the district since the property includes an existing garage facility.
