Description
I assist to manage the Trossachs Homeowners Association. Please install a no parking sign on the south side of SE 18th Street (where the red lines are in the attached photo). This is where the school busses come to pickup kids and a sign would be great that no cars park there and the school bus can pick up kids here, safely. The bus has had to swing out and kids have had to run into the street due to this. Any quesitons, please let me know.

Thanks again for submitting your request! We want to make getting on and off a school bus the safest experience possible for our children. The city does not typically restrict parking in these types of applications because the buses are equipped to stop traffic and safely load and unload children. I’ve visited the site to review your request. To move forward, the traffic department would like a letter from the HOA officially requesting no parking signs and the exact area of request. Additionally, please include acknowledgment of the situation from adjacent residents.
If you see vehicles acting unsafely in the vicinity of school buses, please report it to the police. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust as necessary. Thanks for helping to make Sammamish a better place. Have a great day!
