Classrooms. So if you look at the transit piece, did that cause any delay because of this project and, again, what methodology did you use to sort of measure that . Question, presiden yes, president yee, w we used three sources of delay and two deal with, basically, increases in vehicular Traffic Congestion from the project. So theres the sheer number of new vehicle trips, as well as reason industry delay, where the transit vehicle may pull to the side and try to get back into the transit lane if theyre stopped at a stop and thats too sources of delay and the third source is the increase from transit riders from the project on to the project vicinity. We found that under projects conditions, that the project would not have a Significant Impact on transit delay.

So i think lessons to be learned here are, if youre a School District looking to have inface, inperson instruction, its so important to make sure that you have social distancing in place, that you have masking. That way when those positive cases come, the number of exposures will be much lower. I think the second big lesson is that really, every school needs to have a plan for online instruction. Because as weve seen in this School District, you may rapidly have a need to convert to online ins
