affect the cost of the driveway construction and Caltrans has said that
if it approves the retention of the driveway the school would have to pay
for the cost of reconstruction which could run as high as $150,000.
Apparently, the school is still considering construction of the wider
driveway at their own expense. Staff will continue to update this item
as information is received from either Caltrans or St. Jeanne's
DeLestonnac School.
