Phase 2 traffic plan prompts concerns about tight January circulation and ADA drop‑off access
Summary
Committee members reviewed phase‑2 traffic and drop‑off plans showing temporary circulation that will be tight from January through June; they asked for flyers and temporary signage to inform parents and discussed ADA access routed from the Woodville side.
Project staff presented the phase‑2 plan for school drop‑off and traffic realignment, highlighting a constrained circulation period between January and June during construction.
The map described a perimeter road and temporary realignment that will change parent and bus approach routes. Staff said parents will be directed to the upper lot for student drop‑off and that buses will run a circulation pattern that keeps traffic moving in one direction; an ADA ramp was shown on the plan to provide an accessible route from the Woodville side and school staff will arrange closer drop‑off accommodations for students with mobility needs.
Participants raised concerns about the narrow windows for drop‑off and the need to communicate changes early to parents. The team agreed to prepare simplified flyers and temporary signage; once the flyer is available, building administration will coordinate the parent and staff communication plan before the School opens under the new alignment.
Next steps: produce the flyer for review at the next working group meeting, confirm temporary signage allocation and run a pre‑opening communications campaign with school administration and DPW.
