[quote=Anonymous]There's currently a bit of a furor over this in the WW area, on the neighborhood email list. Apparently a police officer ticketed all the illegally-parked cars that were parked just by the school (back driveway by the field) earlier this week. A parent got mad and said it was probably some nearby neighbor who called the cops, this is so unjust, etc. They did acknowledge their kid was parked in a no parking zone, at least.

I drove by the other day to check it out. No parking signs are clearly marked, and people are parking haphazardly. It would be a tight squeeze for a hook and ladder fire truck to make it through that, especially in a rush. I think the no parking signs in that area are justified -- it's a tight squeeze.

As for within the neighborhood itself, that's not unique to Whitman -- you'll find that outside every high school I'd say.

These kids don't all _need_ to drive to school. The school provides school bus transportation, and there is a Ride-On bus stop directly in front of the school. Yes, there are more people who want permits than they have spaces, but they should just auction them off or use a lottery process.[/quote]
