I live in the Fieldston area and I believe Horace Mann school is the main cause of the street closings. They have been taking over W. 246th St between Waldo and Post Road for the past 25 years. Drive by W. 246th St. when school is getting out and you will see cars triple parked and multiple school buses. When the school has an event, it is the same situation. It is a nightmare and I worry that emergency vehicles will not be able to get through in time for people in need. TIBBETT AVE BETWEEN W. 246th ST & W. 254 ST WAS A CITY STREET until one day Horace Mann took it over to make parking spaces for their teachers. They need to build a parking garage for their faculty, students and visitors and leave the community alone. Mr. Contant said the restrictions reduced at least 70 buses per day from entering Fieldston but he has done nothing to reduce the hundreds of buses and cars that Horace Mann poorly navigates. He doesn't care that the traffic is backed up all the way down Post Road because of these closures and people who live in the community can't simply drive to and from their homes.
