School Parking & Transportation Task Force
We are not unique;  Other communities have faced similar problems, especially in California.  Let's use the experience learned by other schools and cities to help define our options.  One option is to create a Task Force or "Community Advisory Committee to help develop a long-term, comprehensive plan to alleviate pressure for parking by the high school" (Westfield High School, April 2003)
