Reform Parking Restrictions around Los Altos High School


Reform Parking Restrictions around Los Altos High School
The Issue
The parking restrictions negatively impact over one hundred students who must drive to school in the morning. These students live miles away in Los Altos Hills, or have to cross dangerous roads like El Camino, Shoreline, and Rengstorff. The restrictions also impact students with outside extracurriculars: they're at risk of being late to their jobs or sports because they have to walk at least 10 minutes to get to their car.
Many students are unable to find parking within a quarter mile of school and have to arrive at least 30 minutes before classes start. Many homeowners are also proposing expanding parking restrictions and having resident-only parking permits.
The restrictions are inequitable towards the students and were made without consulting them and how it would impact their lives. We need to show the Los Altos City Council the immense impact this decision has had on LAHS students.
