Traffic around the high school

As a Lebo Citizens reader mentioned, tomorrow will be a more accurate measuring stick in regard to the traffic around the high school.  In fact, according to the Commission Discussion Session Agenda, it will be the seventh item to be discussed at tomorrow evening's Commission Discussion Session.  I am curious to see what kind of a traffic jam will occur with students trying to make a left hand turn into the Lutheran Church parking lot tomorrow morning.  Crossing rush hour traffic can't be pretty. Is that portion of Washington Road considered a school crossing zone now?  Any additional signs added on Washington Road, or flashing lights alerting motorists that it is a school crossing zone and the speed reduced to 15 mph? I am still confused as to why there has never been a formal shared parking agreement about parking at the Dixon Field lot.  Speaking of shared, why does the District say that the parking is only available to students with valid student parking permits? Is that sharing?

Tomorrow's Commission Meeting might be the perfect time for students, parents, or any other residents to bring up their concerns over the traffic situation at the high school. Citizen Comments is always the first item on the agenda.  The meeting starts at 8:00 PM.  The sign up sheet for citizen comments will be on the table on the right hand side as you enter the room.  Tomorrow's Discussion Session will begin at 6:15, if you want to hear the Commissioners discuss the traffic situation around the high school.  There are no citizen comments at Discussion Sessions.

Soooo, how about the student parking?

Day 1 of the new student parking plan.  According to the District calendar, it is not a typical day since the high school students have finals. Any reports on Day 1?

According to the Mt. Lebanon Zoning Ordinance Section 817.13.3.1.2.1, A shared parking plan shall require a written shared parking agreement, acceptable to the Commission...The agreement shall be submitted to the Commission prior to issuance of a conditional use permit.

My understanding is that the Commission has not accepted anything, nor has anything been submitted to the Commission.  Has this gone before the Zoning Hearing Board?  Is this yet another example of the School District taking the law into their own hands?
