The Lawrence school board reviewed proposed changes to school traffic flow at seven schools — including the possibility of making streets near two schools one-way — in response to community concerns.

Factors such as the school bond construction projects, boundary changes and new building orientation have prompted changes, explained Kyle Hayden, assistant superintendent of business and operations for the school district.

“All those different components create different challenges for us to think through and respond to,” Hayden told the school board at its meeting Monday night.

The process to make changes to traffic flow near schools involves the city, the school district, the Traffic Safety Commission, community meetings and traffic studies. Any changes are ultimately presented to the City Commission for final review.

At Cordley Elementary, 1837 Vermont St., the main concern is parking and traffic flow on Vermont Street, said Ron May, director of administrative services. The changes being considered near Cordley include posting “no parking” signs and making traffic only southbound on Vermont Street. There will be a community meeting to discuss potential changes at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at the school, he said.

“We are hearing a lot of different concerns,” May said, adding that city planners will attend the meeting and then create a formal proposal to send to the Traffic Safety Commission.

At Pinckney Elementary, 810 W. Sixth St., construction is scheduled to take place from June 2016 to July 2017. Students will attend East Heights next school year, and the construction firm, McCownGordon, has requested that the pedestrian tunnel be closed for the entirety of the project for safety. The City Commission and the Pinckney Neighborhood Association are requesting the tunnel remain open and a fence be constructed that guides pedestrians from the tunnel to the sidewalk, May said.

Pat Miller, president of the PNA, attended Monday’s meeting to make a public comment in favor of keeping the tunnel accessible. Miller said that while safety at the construction site is extremely important, she would like the tunnel to be closed only when needed, as opposed to for the entirety of the project. Miller said that the neighborhood is a pedestrian and biking community, and without the tunnel there are as many as seven blocks between crosswalks on Sixth Street.

“The tunnel provides really safe access for our younger children, for bicycles, for all sorts of people,” she said.

Hayden said a community meeting for Pinckney is not yet scheduled, and notifications will be sent once the date of the meeting is determined.

Changes proposed at the other school sites include:

• At Kennedy Elementary, 1605 Davis Road, the school’s entrance has also been relocated to the southeast side of the building. The district has put in a request to move the crosswalk and crossing guard from its location on David Road to one closer to main entrance, May said.

• At New York Elementary, 936 New York St., the possibility of changing traffic to one-way on two streets — making New Jersey Street southbound and New York Street northbound — will be considered. A traffic study in conjunction with the East Ninth Project will be completed by the city to determine changes, May said.

• At Broken Arrow Elementary and South Middle School, 2704 Louisiana St. and 2734 Louisiana St., a traffic study has been completed to determine whether temporary three-way stops near the schools will remain in place, Hayden said. A community meeting during which time the results of the traffic study will be released to the public is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Nov. 12 at South.

• At Sunset Hill Elementary, 901 Schwarz Road, a boundary change next year will send some students north of Sixth Street to the school. The district has put in a request for an additional crossing guard at Sixth Street, May said.

The next school board meeting will be Nov. 9 at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.
