Dear Traffic Engineering team, My name is Stephani Olson, and I am the Upper School Principal at Caliber ChangeMakers Academy, 500 Oregon Street. I'm writing on behalf of our school leadership to ask for your help with traffic safety around our campus at dismissal. We serve about 875 students in grades TK through 8, with dismissals at 3:15 PM and 3:30 PM. Families currently double park on Napa St and Valle Vista Ave, stop in the striped areas on Napa St, and cross mid-street. We are redesigning our dismissal so all car pickup happens in valet lanes inside our lot (entering from Oregon St and exiting onto Napa St), and we would appreciate the City's guidance and support on the following: Staff parking in the striped area on Napa St (northbound, between the lot and Valle Vista). We would like to use this area for staff parking as we prepare for construction on our campus. Can the City approve or restripe this area for parking, or advise us on an alternative? No-stopping signs during school hours on Napa St north of our lot and along our Valle Vista Ave frontage. Red curb or delineator posts along the striped areas on Napa St, if they remain no-parking. Restriping and signs that match one-way flow through our lot. The current markings (a northbound right-turn lane into the lot and an inbound arrow on the driveway) direct drivers to enter from Napa St, which is the opposite of our dismissal flow. A right-turn-only sign at our lot exit onto Napa St. A no-left-turn restriction at dismissal times from Valle Vista Ave onto Napa St. A crosswalk across Valle Vista Ave near our campus, so families can safely park north of Valle Vista and walk to school. We understand some of these may require studies or Council review, and we would welcome your advice on which are most feasible and how to start. We would also be glad to host a site walk during dismissal so your team can see the conditions firsthand. Thank you for your time and for your work keeping Vallejo's streets safe. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Stephani Olson
