Dear OTA Parents, after consulting with Officer Tim from the San Diego Police we have created a traffic flow plan for Old Town Academy 7:45-8:00 AM Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-Up.

The key to a successful drop-off and pick-up is to have all drivers approach the school from the south! See below for directions.

Directions to Old Town Academy:

Heading South: Interstate 5 to Washington Street Exit. Go left onto Washington, continue under freeway to Stop Light. Take a Left onto San Diego Ave. Continue to Old Town Academy: 2120 San Diego Avenue, San Diego CA 92110.

Heading North: Interstate 5 to Washington Street Exit. Merge right to avoid re-entry to Interstate. You are now on India St–stay left until you reach Washington St intersection, continue directly across intersection (India turns into San Diego Ave). Stay right to avoid re-entry onto I5, continue to Old Town Academy: 2120 San Diego Avenue, San Diego CA 92110.

Highlights of the plan are here:

1. All drivers arrive from the south and take a right turn into the OTA driveway. Stop to drop off their children and continue to exit driveway, taking a right turn onto San Diego Ave to reach.
2. No U-turn at Bandini and San Diego Ave intersection!
3. No left-turn into OTA driveway.
4. No parking in Teachers Garage.
5. No parking in-front of school during drop-off and pick-up.
6. Please note: Bandini St is very very very steep (think San Francisco). It is not a good idea to turn onto it and try to u-turn!
