Lakeview High School has a parking deficit; committees hear safety and business impacts
Summary
Superintendent Jeffrey Villar and Facilities Director Dan Hamilton reported a parking-space shortage at Lakeview High School that has students parking off campus, raising safety concerns crossing Rt. 202 and reducing available spaces for nearby businesses; on-site options and vendor quotes were discussed.
Jeffrey Villar, Ph.D., told the joint Finance and Facilities committees that Lakeview High School faces a parking space deficit. He said some students are parking off campus and must cross Route 202 to reach the school, creating safety concerns and reducing parking available to local businesses.
Villar and Dan Hamilton, the district’s facilities director, reviewed possible on-campus locations for additional parking, vendor estimates for constructing lots, and the option of off-site parking with a shuttle. Staff cautioned that off-site parking with a shuttle carries multiple logistical challenges.
Villar also said there is potential for some of the work to be donated if the Board chooses to move forward, and both staff members answered committee questions about feasibility and next steps. The committees did not record a formal decision on funding or a preferred location during the meeting; the parking topic was listed for discussion later on the board agenda.
