Most people that use the school parking lot would agree that changes need to be made, because it is very hard to get in and out of the lot in a timely manner.  Over the course of the summer, changes were made but they were not what most people were expecting, or hoping for.  The district changed the exit so cars heading south bound can enter to reduce traffic at the north entrance of the lot. These changes in the south parking lot seemed to be pointless to students but a majority of them may not know the whole story behind the change.

This seems like a good plan on paper and the logic behind it is apparent, but the new entrance doesn’t seem to have alleviated the traffic issues. To reach this new entrance people need to drive by the north entrance, it is more convenient to just use the north entrance. The few upsides to these changes are a new pedestrian island and a sidewalk.  

The district also added a new sidewalk and crosswalk on Pine Street near the baseball and soccer fields, this makes for safer and easier travel for pedestrians such as students walking home from school or going to SWAC from the school.
