Issue acknowledged. Police will be asked to intervene.

Police says there are two traffic officers stationed in the area. They will be asked to monitor the ramp. Please keep us posted.

The traffic conditions in the city are not resident friendly. Wait till the bicycles come with the pick up and delivery service. What a dangerous situation

Issue acknowledged

If I remember correctly, there is a walkway from th parking lot to the high school that offers another access route for the students. But it is deserted, Maybe if a person was assigned there during walking to school time, the students might feel safe walking there.
Let's not forget, the students are residents and are going to school. Yes it is dangerous, but perhaps the drivers coming off the ramp should go another way.

My last year of high school (2003) it was mandatory for us to walk under the bridge on the path they put there. The school had a security guard stand there and watch us. We got detention if we didn't use the path.

Some one remembered the walking path! Horray! Maybe if the students took ownership of the path, they might use it. Plant plants, create art work, dedicate it to a student or a veteran. Perhaps the Student Council or the Honor Society could take on this project. Good luck!

Path use to be painted Red, not sure about now (havent been to the area), but it cant get more clearer than that... maybe have a sign to direct them (from the parking lot) to use that path.

Maybe an incentive program for the students. Drivers coming off the ramp could contribute DD cars to the Student Safety Fund. Students who use the path could earn tokens for using the pathway. Once they acquire a certain no. of tokens, they could be eligible for a DD card. This requires a computer program probably and a system that does not allow for trading tokens. It is based on an honor system. Any other ideas???

drove by this weekend and noticed that the Red Path from the Parking Lot was still there, though the paint has faded. I also noticed that there were NO visible sign(s) to direct students to take the Red Path.

This is a accident waiting to happen. Maybe the school should invite the parents to walk the path with their children and then meet and discuss ways to encourage the students to walk for safety on the path

Hello, we contacted the Police again and will have the walking patrol monitor this issue. There is a stop sign at the end of the ramp and the vehicles are required to stop. They also have to yield to pedestrians. We might have to come up with some additional signage. We will keep you posted.

I was in the school when none was attending (Class of 2004). I remember we had to use the path to go under the bridge but at the same time, it was ignored after a certain time. So much so that they actually placed a fence where students would cross, which is still there. However, what I am seeing now is that they are using the driveway to the pool as a place to cross, which is the only opening along the entire street other than the crosswalks at Beech and Everett.

Both School Dept. and Police have been made aware of this issue.
