Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director(lY SUBJECT: Ocoee Middle School As a result of the current construction at Ocoee Middle School, traffic congestion at the north end of the school site has become a major problem. The school has requested that we post Lafayette Street as one-way westbound between Lakewood and Bluford Avenue during school hours to facilitate drop off and pick up of school children. The traffic committee unanimously agreed that this is a reasonable accommodation to the school and we recommend that the City Commission authorize the posting of a roll- away type sign during the hours of 8-10 in the morning and 3-5 in the afternoon designating Lafayette Street as one-way west bound from Lakewood to Bluford.

This traffic pattern would go into effect when the new middle school opens. I asked our traffic committee to look into this, and their report is attached for your review. We will implement this traffic control scheme when the new middle school opens. Attachment POWr _r _ "CENTER OF GOOD LIVING-PRIDE OF WEST ORANGE" MAYOR•COMMISSIONER Ocoee S.

Shira, P.E., City Engineer/U 'lilies Direct()>pj' Robert Smith, Public Works D' ct r !�l Robert Mark, Chief of Police Brad Friel, Capital Projects/Tra sportation Planner&' SUBJECT: One Way Traffic At Ocoee Elementary School We had been requested to look into the feasibility of establishing temporary one-way traffic zones near the Ocoee Elementary School to help ease traffic congestion when the new school opens. We decided that the most effective traffic control would be to establish one-way traffic zones during high drop-off and pick-up school traffic times of the day, similar to the temporary one- way zones that are used now in the vicinity of Spring Lake Elementary School. In the vicinity of Ocoee Elementary School,we recommend that during high traffic times, Magnolia would he signed as one-way eastbound between Bluford and Lakewood. Lakewood would be signed as one-way southbound between Magnolia and Lafayette, and Lafayette would be signed as one-way westbound between Lakewood and Bluford. This could be accomplished by using portable signs such as those in use at Spring Lake Elementary. We feel that this would be the most effective way to deal with the short term congestion in the area which results from parents dropping off and pi king up children at the beginning and end of each school day. / C r / ` IQ If you need any more information on this, please let us know. l s /�� µ J� 1 is 0N4 �ixi o C '1-11i ONE - WAY TRAF- F- ICI OAKLAND _\\ MCKE Y a S:Rzl 39 , �° MAGNOLIA • IlkF LCRAL LAFAYETTE ST II .- Cmr` , /\ ❑C❑EE MIDDLE Q ❑HI❑ SCHOOL Q Q J O LLI CO M Li_ d >- J L.Li D J cz Q U (A () Z _.1 DELAWARE W W 0 W 0 0 W = U J U 0 W (/)
