Travel Methods

Majority of students are driven/drive to school, which is leading to neighborhood congestion and additional wear and tear on our roads.

Why They don't bike

While many students listed the distance as the reason for not biking and lack of a bike, a good portion of students said the traffic conditions kept them from biking to school.

Proposal: To relieve traffic along Dewey Drive at the start of the school day, we would like to convert Lane 1 in front of Del Campo into a drop off zone. The stretch along the football field is about 900 feet, providing an additional location for students to be dropped off, with the continued use of the front of the school
