Origin
Summary
Administrators and parents of Secord Elementary have reached out to my office with some safety and logistical concerns regarding the bus loading zone, and pick-up/drop-off of students on Palmer Avenue. After speaking with City Staff and meeting with Secord administrators, I am requesting adjustment of the school bus loading zone and the implementation of a pick-up/drop-off zone for parents.
These changes will create a safer environment for students arriving at Secord Elementary.
