I have two updates for you.

First, as you may have heard, Brandeis sent out a call today to let families know that the change to the Champions Gate Entrance will be in place this Monday, November 5. That exit from the school parking lot will be limited to right turn only (toward 1604 instead of toward Kyle Seale).

And second, I reached out to Councilman Paleaz’s office to ask if the crosswalk closest to Igo will be moved after all. I’m happy to say that the Council office is waiting on final approval from the city’s Transportation and Capital Improvements (TCI) department to move the crosswalk at the North Entrance. The approval could take a few months.

This is an important step so that students will have one less lane of traffic to cross, and they will be crossing at a place with better visibility and won’t be crossing where so many cars are turning left out of the parking lot.

So here’s a shout out to both Councilman Paleaz’s office and the city TCI department for doing their part and sticking with it until we have safe roads for our Brandies kids and the nearby community.
