A Lake County supervisor told colleagues they met with the Coyote Valley Parent Teacher Organization to discuss creating an alternate road into the area to improve safety for an elementary school.

The supervisor said the PTO and other residents are seeking another access point when the Valley Oaks subdivision is developed so the elementary school is not left with only one way in and out. "That's primarily for safety," the supervisor said.

The remarks were part of the supervisors’ calendar reports and described outreach and early planning rather than a formal project approval. The supervisor said they hoped for more motivation and support to include the second access when the Valley Oaks project subdivision advances, but no funding, engineering plans or schedule were provided during the report.

No board action or vote was taken during the calendar item; the supervisor characterized the matter as ongoing outreach to build support and create a plan for a second connection between County Valley Road and the proposed subdivision.
