I am writing to you today to request your support in amending the parking by-laws on Keywest Avenue in order to ensure a safe pick-up and drop-off space for students Lycée Français.  In recent conversation with of Head of School at Lycée Français, my office learned of an issue regarding lack of capacity to ensure student's safety as they arrive to and leave school.  This issue is especially prescient as Lycée Français goes ahead with an expansion that will only further reduce the capacity of the current student and faculty parking lot. 

They have requested an amendment of the parking by-laws on Keywest Avenue to allow for a safer pick up/drop off zone for students for the duration of the construction which is expected to start this summer and last into the early fall and beyond, as capacity in the faculty/student parking lot will remain diminished.
