Greenwich Schools Questions Dept of Transportation Denial for School Bus Parking Under I95 due to “Potentially Flammable Nature”

By: greenwichfreepress | 2 hours ago

Ben Branyan’s presentation for Thursday night to the BOE describes Greenwich Public Schools as an “outlier,” given the denial to park buses under I95 despite other locations where vehicles park under the highway in Connecticut. He asserts the FHWA framework is inconsistently applied.
A memorandum from the FHWA in November 2023 cited a fire that resulted in the closure of a bridge on the Santa Monica Freeway, causing the detour of approximately 290,000 vehicles per day. The memo also cited a similar incident in March 2017 in Atlanta, GA when a massive fire ignited under I-85 North  caused a 100-foot section of the bridge to collapse.
