How many of Albemarles students live on unpaved roads that become inaccessible with even a small amount of snow?
The number of students who resides on unpaved roads is not readily available. Staff will attempt to determine this number at the earliest possible time. However, as you might imagine, the level of driving difficulty on these roads, caused by snow conditions vary widely. In some cases the road itself may be minimally accessible, but adjacent hazards or obstacles such as severe drop-offs, lack of sight distance around curves, narrowing of the road, low-hanging branches and insufficient cleared space to safely turn the bus around, make them unsafe or impractical for school bus travel. Q: When the weather has cleared and traffic is moving well in the urban ring, are there really a lot of roads in the county that are not accessible? Where are these roads? How about a map to show were they are?
