Parents in the Sevilla community of St. Johns County have mixed feelings about new changes to a bus route in the neighborhood.
The district transportation department says that the sudden change has to do with the Two Mile Rule.
“They don’t have the competence to be able to walk to two miles with or without an adult,” Tom Waggestad, a concerned parent said. A Florida State statute indicated if a student lives less than two miles away from school, and it’s deemed safe enough to walk, they are not eligible to ride a bus. The criteria to identify hazardous walking conditions for students include if the posted speed limit is 50 miles per hour or greater and has six or more lanes.Smith says it’s still dangerous." International Golf Parkway might as well be International Gold speedway. And it’s not really a safe place, in my opinion of kids going up and down the roads.”
