Committee requests mini traffic study near Pioneer School to evaluate one-way option
Summary
A committee member asked police and Public Works to study whether a one-way conversion or other traffic changes near Pioneer School would reduce congestion at drop-off and pick-up; staff agreed to perform a mini study and report back at the next meeting.
A committee member raised recurring safety and congestion concerns near Pioneer School at the Aug. 18 meeting and asked police and Public Works to perform a brief traffic study to evaluate options, including making a block one-way.
Staff said they would take a look at the block of Kenwood near Pioneer School, assess feasibility (including curbside management and emergency access) and report findings at the committee’s next meeting. Members cited examples from other nearby schools where one-way streets and redesigned drop-off/pick-up patterns had helped reduce congestion.
