After-School Pickup: Dashboard Signs to Help Keep Bike Lanes Free

Dear OTA Parents, in the interest of getting cars off the street while we wait for the street rezoning, we’d like to suggest you bring a sign with your child/ren’s name and grade. Placing it on the dash as you drive in will help our safety patrol get children to the cars just a little faster and help us keep the bike lanes free.  As you know we have been warned that waiting cars will be ticketed if the gates are not open (and cars moving)–see below. Thanks for your help!

Gate will be opened at 2:45 PM to allow off-street waiting

Please try to arrive as close to 3:00 as possible since parking lot can only fit so many cars. We will continue opening the gate early while we wait for the city to finish the traffic safety plan or until we hear that the threat to ticket waiting cars is removed.

Reminder– Traffic Police Will Ticket Cars waiting before the gates are open

Dear OTA Parents: We received a friendly warning that if cars waiting to pick up students are blocking the bike lane before the gate is open (3:00) they may be ticketed. If the gate is open and you are waiting to make the right turn you will not be ticketed. Please be advised that the city has promised to let us know by the end of the month about a no parking zone in front of the school (which would allow waiting cars to wait out of the bike lane). In the meantime please try to arrive as close to 3:00 as possible
