REQUEST FROM VISCOUNT SCHOOL

A request was received from Viscount Elementary School to assess
a problem on Salisbury Avenue, adjacent to the school.

Drivers are apparently using this section of Salisbury to pick us
and drop off school children. Because the roadway is narrow, the
drivers must — back up and turn around to exit. This maneuvering
‘is dangerous for students who must dodge the vehicles as. they
walk to school. Also, the residents at the end of Salisbury are
irritated because of vehicles using their driveways and running
over their lawns. . :

SITE CONDITIONS

The West end of Salisbury is an attractive location: for drivers
to drop off students. This is because it is close to the school
entrance. : | . . . - 7

Salisbury has. a ‘no parking any time’ restriction on. both sides,
between. Oxford and the school. This should . keep drivers from
stopping for. any length of time to wait for the students... Also,
ano through road’ sign is in place at the entrance to
Salisbury. a I oa

The other drop-off. location | available. for drivers is ‘on. the Flint
Street boulevard, | North of Prairie. Mo stopping. is permitted. on
‘Prairie: Avenue ». and student drop-off is not permitted | on. the

driveway. loop through school. property.
