Already, we have noticed a positive change in the flow of traffic, a reduction in congestion and students are getting to school on time and safely! We have also noticed that the minute one car parks on St. Clements in the area starting from the school all the way to the lights, the positive outcomes of the program are undermined and we are back to square one in terms of congestion.\u00a0<strong id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490277965210_11836\">We acknowledge that the signs allow for 10 minute parking, but we are asking for the community to avoid parking on the south side of St. Clements (all the way to the lights)\u00a0while we are piloting the program and before permanent no stopping signs are implemented<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490277965210_10070\">\n<li>Drivers heading\u00a0<strong>East\u00a0<\/strong>in the morning should use the south side of\u00a0<strong>St. Clements<\/strong>\u00a0as their preferred Drop Zone.<\/li>\n<li id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490277965210_11769\">Drivers heading\u00a0<strong>West<\/strong>\u00a0in the morning should use the north side of\u00a0<strong>Castlefield<\/strong>\u00a0as their preferred Drop Zone.<\/li>\n<li>Parking is still permitted on the north side of St. Clements and the south side of Castlefield and other areas outside of school zone.<\/li>\n<li>A Traffic Monitor will help children out of the car.
