3. Regular Calendar:
A) The traffic around both McCaffrey Middle School and River Oaks Elementary schools is becoming
dangerous for pedestrians during school hours.
McCaffrey - The issue here is driver are ignoring the posted speed limit. Especially around the
south end of Park Terrace.
River Oaks Elementary- This school has crossing guards to protect the children as they cross the
intersections. In more than a dozen cases I have observed vehicles ignoring the crossing guards
and driving through the streets as children are crossing. The second issue is vehicles passing
stopped vehicles in front of the school.
Both sites of these are related to impatient drivers. I would like to request the motor unit post up in
the area(s) of Summit Lakes and Vintage Oak
to monitor traffic and cite violators during the two heaviest pedestrian periods. When schools starts
and as school is being let out. And on Park Terrance and Bay Vista.
Recommended Action: Review and take action as deemed appropriate.
B) Left turn (westbound) from west exit in the Raley's parking lot to Twin Cities Road.
Recommended Action: Review and take action as deemed appropriate.
