Lancaster thanked for coming do not know also have concerns with the children sorry he had to come Don said the bus driver looked at the area and thy need a place to turn the bus around. Don Robb said on July 21 Don and Steve and Scott looked at the area. They felt the only solution was to move the gate to the north. Don said when he was at the meeting in Doniphan with superintendent and bus drivers that the first time this was brought to his attention. Steve stated he did research regarding Platte River Drive there was a study done and it was recommended to close the road but there was no final action taken to do so. The gate was put up and the road was not closed. Don talked to the bus drivers and to Gregg Robb and they made the decision to move the gates. He said he did not have John's number and Don apologized to John that he did not contact him. He said the motor grader did not come into play this was for the bus to turn around because they did not want the children walking down the road. Don said this was their option to solve the problem there was miscommunication and they did not talk to John. Don said he would like to leave the gate there and noted they filled in the ditch for the bus to turn around. That was their solution to get the bus turned around John Amick ask how deep the ditch was and Steve said 4 or 5 feet. John also ask if there was going to be a guard rail. John stated he does not want a lot of activity he has cattle and horses. Steve said on these county road there is more activity. Sorensen said he would like to discuss this with John and Don and come to some type of resolution. John suggested putting in 2 culverts to make it wider.
