This would relocate and divert the traffic on Common Street and require rides to pull into the HS driveway, where they would be lined up inside the driveway from the middle high school exit to the driveway entrance on Common Street. This would move all or most waiting traffic off Common Street to the safer area of the HS driveway. Problem is that parents may not like pulling off Common Street and into the driveway, however this option is significantly safer for everyone and would make traffic flow more evenly.) for the HS pickup issue, seconded by Mr. Gallivan,
