Re: Sawyer Elementary School, School-Bus Loading Zone
Dear Mr. Mayor:
The Ames Community School District would like to request the City Council approve a
school-bus loading zone at the Sawyer Elementary School, 4315 Ontario Street. This
loading zone should be on the south side of Ontario Street, from the east edge of the
yellow "No Parking Zone" in front of the fire hydrant extending 135 feet east of that point,
which would be at the east edge of the school district's property.
We request that there be no parking in this zone from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. We are requesting this school-bus loading zone because of the congestion
there now with parents picking up and dropping off students in the Sawyer driveway,
along with the presence of school buses at the same time. This makes an unsafe situation.
Principal Harry Heiligenthal has been working with Scott Logan, City of Ames, Bill Sanford,
our Maintenance Department, and Kirby Brier with Central Iowa Transit, our
transportation company, and this is their recommendation. Harry Heiligenthal would like
this zone established as soon as possible, and the school district hereby requests favorable
action on this matter.
Harry Heiligenthal will be glad to answer any specific questions you may have about this
request.
Sincerely,
Joe W. Stratton
Board Secretary/Business Manager
