Dear JFK community,
The work being done on Pinos has extended beyond the original time frame we were given and will be continuing for the whole month of October.
In order to help alleviate the traffic issues caused by the street work, we would highly recommend the following actions:
-
Use the track or auditorium parking lot- at both morning drop-off and afternoon pickup. We have been able to reduce the wait times by being much more efficient. This reduces the number of cars on the roads and eliminates the need to have to find the limited parking spaces on the street.
-
Back in to the parking spaces on the street- at afternoon pickup time, if you will be going to the main entrance to pick up your child, when you park your car, back in to the street parking spaces on the perimeter of the school. One of the causes of traffic in the afternoon that we have observed, is that cars parked head in need to maneuver to back out in a way that causes additional delays. By backing in when parking, it will be a quicker maneuver to exit the spot.
Once again, we remind everyone that double parking on the street is not permitted and only creates more traffic for everyone. Additionally, we need to respect the driveways of our neighbors and not use them or block them. It is up to all of us to remain patient, follow the rules and respect others at all times.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Claudio Patiño
