A resident said repeated parking and drop-off violations near Greenhills School have left her driveway obstructed and created safety concerns for students and neighbors. She urged Lowell City to enforce the school's no-parking and drop-off rules after a recent incident in which a neighbor could not enter her driveway.
The resident said the neighborhood and school work "phenomenal" when most parents follow the process on Victor, but "you have those few parents that decide they're going to be cheaters" who "let the kids out in the middle of the street" and "cut into the line in front of the crossing walk," even while the crossing guard stops traffic. She described those actions as "really serious."
She noted existing signage, including notices of "no parking during school hours," but said the signs alone have not prevented violations. "We really really need the enforcement," the resident said, adding that she asked for help last week after a driver blocked a neighbor's access and an argument followed; she said she intervened to stop the confrontation.
The transcript does not record an official response from city staff or an enforcement action during this meeting. The resident's comments call attention to repeated noncompliance with the drop-off procedure, blocked private access, and a potential risk to pedestrians at the school crosswalk. Absent further recorded action, the next steps would be for city staff or school officials to report whether additional enforcement or traffic-control measures will be implemented.
