  No one is dropping off on court st. It isn't even allowed. There are parents who walk their kids into school and park on Court , but I don't think they are impacting traffic particularly.
  The drop off area IS off road, and it is heavily backed up. The parents walking their kids into school are saving that traffic delay, and walking their own kids in. Being as these are elementary school children I don't think they are being the least bit spoiled by having a caring parent.
  There are also parents who choose to drive their children because they are either on their way to work anyway, OR perhaps they don't care for the bus driver assigned to their children, or the traffic situation involved or whatever reason they see fit, I don't believe it has anything to do with being spoiled. No one should be berated for taking care of their kids themselves rather than giving that responsiblity to someone else.
  I don't know that a 4 way stop is the answer, but I do know the traffic there is an issue during school drop off/pick up. I also know that as a walker, there are far more cars speeding through the crosswalk there and ignoring my children and I crossing, than there are drivers obeying the law by stopping at the crosswalk

  I have to call BS on your comment that they aren't dropping off on court st. Go there any day of school and count the cars on that little pull off on the little shoulder of the road. I constantly have to watch for people opening their doors, thankfully they are smart enough to let the kids in/out on the curb side although some don't. There is nothing wrong with them dropping their kids off on the way to work as long as obey the laws and signal before they pull in or out and it is done off the street. If people are blowing through crosswalks with people in those crosswalks then we need police to patrol that, that is one of their responsibilities, that is what we pay them for. To add more stop signs where they are not needed is not the answer. I live very close to there and complain to the police speeding on my street and nothing gets done. Their comment to me was how do you know they are going over the speed limit. Gee after almost 40 yrs of driving I think I know when someone goes by my house at well over 35 mph and that includes fire trucks going back to the firehouse. I worry about kids getting hit there too but a stop sign will not stop it.

  The solution is too many parents dropping off their kids for no good reason. Put them on the bus!! Parents speed through our neighborhood daily to drop off their kids, God forbid one of us try the same on their cul-de-sacs without them flipping out!

  I also call BS with another resident. Parents demand a school bus stop right in front of their homes and still they drop off their kids. There is no reason for this other than lazy parents who do not want to stand at the bus stop with their children. That's right, I said lazy parents. These schools can't accomodate the onslaught of cars especially since half these parents want to exit their cars and huggy, kissy their kids when they should have done that at home. It's time they start a list and force parents to be pre-approved to drop off with a valid reason, not I didn't want my baby or myself to get a little wet in the rain.

  They need to police this street a few times a year to reduce the speeding.
