4.2.1 Request for 1 GreetZore at 801 Howard Avenue and 3 White Zones on
Arundel Road Side of Washington School
From the floor, Washington School Principal, Dian Delantoni, explained
that additional parking zones would help eliminate the double parking that
occurs during school pick up and drop off times. Sgt. Haseleu suggested
the two red zones on Arundel and Anita for the Burlingame Intermediate
School bus stops be changed to white zones which would require drivers
to remain behind the wheel while dropping off or picking up. Ms.
Delantoni advised that most parents drop off students on the Arundel Road
side; they would like to encourage their using Anita Road side instead. She
stated the school needs 1 green zone on Howard, 3 white zones on Arundel
and 1 white zone on Anita adjacent to the school gate entrance, eliminating
the two red zones. Several parents and teachers attended and provided
input. Sgt. Haseleu further suggested the white zone on Howard be changed
to green.
Mr. Dellaway suggested the petitioner designate what they want with a
diagram to facilitate voting on their request. It was moved and seconded
(Comm. Preger/Auran) to make this an Action item at the next meeting
with the expectation of receiving from the petitioner a more definitive idea
of what is requested; approved by the Commission (4-2-l vote).
4.2.2 Study of Potential Parking Lot at Post Office on Lorton Avenue
Mr. Dellaway advised that Council should approve requests for staff to
perform any studies. Comm. Simonetti suggested a letter to Council asking
if this commission should explore having a parking lot at this location. It
was moved and seconded (Comm. Mayer/Amoroso) to table this issue until
further direction from Council; approved by the Commission (5-1-1 vote).
