LEPORE Email: engineering@westorange.org Director, Township Engineer December 30, 2014 Mayor and Township Council Municipal Building 66 Main Street West Orange, New Jersey 07052 RE: AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 7, TRAFFIC ST. CLOUD AVENUE AT ST. CLOUD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Mayor Parisi, Council President Guarino, Ladies and Gentlemen: Attached please find an Ordinance to amend several subsections of Chapter 7, Traffic, of the Revised General Ordinances. These changes will improve the safety of motorists and pedestrians along St. Cloud Avenue at the St. Cloud Elementary School. These amendments are proposed as a result of the observations and recommendations from a site meeting earlier this fall at the school with representatives of the School Administration, the Police Traffic Division and me. In the morning there is a need to provide additional curb area for students being discharged by bus. The expanded area will be placed in front of the small strip center located on the northeasterly corner of the intersection of St. Cloud Avenue and Northfield Avenue just south of the school. This will be a Bus Stop on School Days only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. so as not to interfere with the parking needs of the commercial establishments. From 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. parking will be limited to one hour. The current regulation starts the time limited parking at 8:00 a.m. This area has been used as a drop off by parents or guardians of students arriving by motor vehicle. This will no longer be allowed, and they will then need to use the drop off area on St. Cloud Avenue.along the northerly end of the school or two parking lots in Stagg Field across St. Cloud Avenue from the School. In the morning to minimize traffic in front of the school from motorists exiting those two driveways, there will be turn prohibitions at each from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on School Days. Left turns will be prohibited out of the southerly driveway and right turns will be prohibited out of the northerly driveway. NYMO LSSM aS:HWY 1€ 3304102 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
