Policy
The Public Works Department installs No Parking School Days 7am - 4pm, Buses Exempt, signs adjacent to schools. Vehicles, other than buses stopped in the zone, can be issued a parking citation.
Rationale
Recently, most schools and educational institutions have experienced a substantial increase in busing. The primary function of a No Parking School Days zone is to allow bus access. It also allows children, faculty, and visitor access to the building. Another function of these No Parking zones is to remove parked cars, which can inhibit the motorists view of children.
Procedure
The Public Works Director will investigate requests for bus loading zones only when the request comes through the School Transportation Coordinator. The intent of the zone, the number of buses, number of signs, cost of signs, and effect on parking in the area, are some of the factors taken into consideration.
