Mr. Bob Harris, Director of Maintenance and Operations for the National School
District, requested additional red cub "No Parking" for school buses to
accommodate special education student drop-off / pick-up adjacent to Central
School. Based on demand, the District will be providing two buses starting in
July, which require additional curb parking.
Staff visited the site and confirmed that there is adequate existing red curb on E
Avenue, adjacent to the school to accommodate one bus, while providing
clearance from the school crosswalk at E. 9th Street. In order to accommodate
two buses an additional 20 feet of red curb is required. However, this would
result in the loss of one passenger loading parking space and since passenger
loading is limited on E Avenue staff recommends an alternate location for the
second bus.
Therefore, staff recommends adding an additional 20 feet of red curb "No
Parking" on Plaza Boulevard adjacent to the school to serve as a staging area for
the second bus. The bus drivers will use two-way radio communications to
ensure both buses don't arrive at the school bus stop on E Avenue at the same
time.
All work will be completed by City Public Works.
