Description
There is a terrible traffic problem for parents with children at this school - all related to unnecessary traffic signs and SPPD enforcement rather than taking the time and directing traffic during busy periods of the day. The exit from the school has two lanes and the street allows for a left hand turn; however, there are signs (very low signs) that say no left turn. Parents in the left lane are forced to turn left against the sign but in accordance with street markings - no other option at that point as a majority of parents turning right immediately make a U-turn on 22nd Avenue to head to their jobs downtown. After school parents are either in danger blocking traffic on 22nd waiting to turn into the school to pick up children or the park on side streets and risk a ticket for doing so. The police prey - yes PREY on parents at this school who only want to get through their day and drop off and pick up their children in a timely fashion - not contribute to the SPPD pension fund.

For the Mayor's Action Center, I strongly request that this issue remain open until it is corrected and two more things:
1) A response as to Mike Frederick's reply dated October 22nd to a parent regarding his request to be present while the evaluation that took place. Is this standard practice? . . . because parental involvement in the review of these issues is welcome in other municipalities:
"Our review and analysis is conducted with staff of PCS and unfortunately having members of the public involved would inhibit our attention and would not be practical. A full report will be available after the review in response to your travel to school safety request, at which time you can weigh in."
2) When will that 'full report" be available . . . and why wasn't a licensed engineer involved in the review process?

Thank you for your past submission via SeeClickFix. The City of St Petersburg periodically reviews past reports that are made from citizens within our city limits, and in an effort to clean-up old issues that were resolved some time ago, we are marking as 'closed' those issues that were submitted in the past for which the work has been completed or the issue has otherwise been resolved.
If you think for any reason that the issue you submitted in the past might still be unresolved, please feel free to submit a new report with the SeeClickFix St. Pete website and we will make sure the issue is directed to the appropriate City department to be addressed as soon as possible.
Thank you again - Sincerely,
Mayor's Action Center
