Email and voicemail received from Superintendent Diersing. She advised that the school is working with the city on stop light timing at Smith/Walnut in an effort to alleviate traffic backup.
Other: Project school pickup traffic is out of control. Vehicles picking up students are supposed to proceed eastbound on 2nd street, then north on Lincoln. Not only do people end up lining up far too early, causing a logjam, but many vehicles are approaching from the east, causing the eastbound traffic to take even longer to be able to turn onto Lincoln. Consequently, nearly every day there is a near-miss with other vehicles (who are just trying to go east/west along 2nd street) end up going around waiting TPS parents. This is an extremely dangerous and untenable situation. Check out that intersection between 3:35 and 3:45 on any given schoolday.

Email sent to Superintendent Diersing with information reported in uReport. I advised her that I would follow-up at a later date to seek information about a plan to mitigate traffic congestion.
