Board vows support for Nash Road improvements
San Benito High School Trustee Ray Rodriguez expressed concern earlier this month about the snarl of traffic near the high school at Nash Road.
Rodriguez brought the issue to the board with concerns for student safety as they cross Nash Road near Monterey and West streets throughout the day. Using information from a 2007 traffic study at the high school, Rodriguez said more than 11,000 trips are made across Nash Road between the main campus, which is north of Nash, and the portion known as the new campus that is on the south side and spans east toward San Benito Street.
He cited the study that said a “temporary or permanent closure may be required to maintain safe passage.”
San Benito County supervisors followed up Tuesday and approved a resolution vowing their support to look at improvements in that area. It was a unanimous vote.
