ANOTHER Traffic study has been done around Laurel Elementary Magnet School. Community input opportunity will be June 26th, 7 pm at the City maintenance yard on Berry. Will they actually do something this time or will it just be another waste of money. Please join us there to find out.
(Ironically this is the same date/time as the BOUSD school board meeting. You would think the city would want School District input)

Mr Manleys response to the vacated Kyoto building on Birch St.
Quote "raising canes was looking at it. Birch street has always been the “locals “ street. No drive thru or other things that belong on imperial or lambert."

His proposed drivethru in Gaslight Square will not be accessible from Imperial Hwy. Instead traffic will be directed onto residential streets. One which is directly in front of Laurel Elementary School. If the city follows thru with their intent to close Flower Ave at the Imperial intersection, then all traffic will be redirected to Birch St and Orange Ave. By his own definition, no drive thru should be allowed.

Just in time for school to start, dirt is being pushed around at Gaslight Square. Still no updates on traffic controls that were presented 2 years ago.
Remember this November who put kids safety above city profits.

Stay alert in school zones.

Now that school is out, share a place you have visited with others!

To all the moms out there who are always looking out for kids and wanting to ensure their surrounding are safe. School zones are one of those areas that need to remain safe for kids. Help us keep this zone free from drive thrus.

Reaching out... what is your definition of a "special pedestrian condition" present in a school zone and how should it be protected? Is signage/lower speed limit enough?
