NEW BRIGHTON <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC <br />SAFETY <br />Interoffice Memorandum <br />To: Janice Gundlach, Assistant Director of DCAD <br />From: Trevor Hamdorf-Deputy Director <br />Subject: Highview Comments <br />Date: 05/09/18 <br /> <br /> <br />Based upon the most recent information made available by the school district for the proposed <br />upcoming Highview Middle School project, the Public Safety Department offers the following <br />comments/suggestions; <br /> <br />Public Safety Commission identified areas from Director Paetznick; <br />- Are the entrances wide enough to accommodate the lanes of vehicles and specifically, is there <br />enough space for a bus to exit onto 7th Street NW with a right-hand turn without needing to <br />enter into the eastbound traffic lane? <br />- There was mixed reaction about additional traffic control measures (i.e., stop signs) and also <br />general disbelief that staff/parents would enforce moving fully through the drop-off/pick-up <br />queue so as to maximize the loop. <br />- Perhaps the best idea was to limit on-street parking at certain hours so as to discourage parents <br />from doing their own drop-off/pick-ups in the existing marked shoulders adjacent to the parking <br />lot entrances. <br /> <br />Additional staff identified area; <br />-Ensure that all drive aisles maintain a sufficient width to allow at minimum a single lane <br />of traffic to pass through <br />
