Thank you, we will forward to South Precinct to check on this issue.

Just so you know, I have spoken to the South Precinct. I was put through to an officer who said that it wasn't an illegal turn because I didnt have a choice since the turn lane was blocked. I was also forwarded to the supervisor of the crossing gaurds who advised that it was an illegal turn and I asked even if there are people parked in the turn lane, she said they weren't parked they were waiting. Does this also apply to the through lane? Can I also "wait" in the through lane because people are "waiting" in the turn lane and it's illegal to turn into the school? My bigges issue is that some laws are being enforced while others are not. If the no parking in a turn lane was enforced this wouldnt be an issue at all because the turn lane wouldnt be blocked and people could make a legal right turn. I'm just trying to do the right thing by not parking in the road and I'm being penalized.

Thank you, we will get some clarity on this.

This was discussed earlier last week and the decision was made to allow the turn. The Principal and Safety Director for the schools was notified yesterday and they were allowed to begin again yesterday afternoon. There should not be a problem any longer. Thank you.

Thank you so much!!!
