Bcc: Madrone Park Circle, HVCC, SaveEvergreen, Hearus and HV Beat groupsWhy are there no Marin Horizon School (MHS) crossing guard this morning after 8:30 AM and none this afternoon as usual ... ?MHS management obviously is not overly concerned with the safety of their commuting parent and student walkers walking on Evergreen Ave. or MHS would provide the crossing guard required by supervisor resolution 2005-105.MHS could care less about providing the crossing guard at Melrose/ Volunteer Park required by its county approved March 2010 Management Plan as the county does not monitor MHS compliance.The county deceptively and deceitfully wrongly imposed MHS on our community in 2005 by deliberately ignoring the fact that 99.4% of MHS' students commute to Homestead Valley which is totally inconsistent with our Tamalpais Area Community Plan's requirement that MHS serve primarily students from Homestead Valley.The result of Supervisor's Kinsey's support of wrongly imposing MHS on our community is a 100% increase in Evergreen Ave. traffic. A significant negative impact that was concealed from all the other supervisors in order to gain their aye vote to impose this traffic and parking generating private educational business on our community.Although MHS pays no taxes, MHS now wants to use federal and county tax payer dollars to impose a sidewalk on Evergreen Ave. and Melrose Ave. Sidewalks that MHS claims is required to protect the safety of a daily morning average of 14 commuter walkers and a daily afternoon average of zero to 4 commuter walkers. Yet MHS sees fit not to provide the required crossing guard.Why should federal and county tax payer funds be expended to protect MHS' commuter walkers from MHS' 100% increase in traffic ? Requiring MHS to van its students is by far less expensive than expending 1,100,000 tax payer dollars and would positively benefit our community by significantly reducing MHS traffic on our roads.And why should federal and county tax payer funds Safe be expended to design and construct a sidewalk that is justified only by MHS' blatantly false Safe Route to School Application statements ?The most flagrant and blatant MHS false statement is that the non-existent Homewood Community Association Traffic Calming Committee supports MHS' Safe Route to School Application.Why is the county supporting this MHS scam ??? Is it because of the annual rent MHS pays to the Mill Valley School District for use of the existinb Marin County owned Homestead Valley Elementary School site ?How Supervisor Kinsey can support such a deceitful process is inexplicable.It is unconsciously irresponsible of Supervisor Kinsey to support imposing a sidewalk that each adjacent parcel owner is legally obliged to maintain and is legally liable for any accidents.It is inexplicable that Supervisor Kinsey suggests using county taxpayer funds or CSA 14 Bond Funds to maintain these sidewalks but does not suggest that MHS also share in supporting sidewalk maintenance and liability costs.Charles
