VILLA PARK
To improve traffic flow around the city’s schools, officials this summer will add unloading areas on Taft Avenue, which is where Villa Park High School sits and where the streets from other schools feed into. The city already had planned to repave Taft as part of its capital improvement project and will add stripes to create the new unloading zones, said Councilwoman Patricia Bortle. Crews will also create a new driveway into the high school’s parking lot so that buses can go into the school and drop off students, Bortle said.
The actions follow recommendations in a traffic study. Also being considered are loading zones within the school parking lots to ease street traffic caused by buses stopping to pick up and drop off students.
