My daughter has been attending Challenger School on Cox Avenue for two years now. I feel that Sue Elliott and her staff are doing a great job getting the children out and in during the morning hour.

I've been to Sue Elliott's orientation at the beginning of school about how the parents should drop off and pick up the children in the driveway during the school year. She always explains in great detail the right way to enter and exit the driveway. I know by the end of the orientation what I'm supposed to do and not to do as a parent dropping off my child. The next day there is always that one parent who thinks the rules Sue has explained don't apply to them or they just don't care about rules. So Sue sends out notices again about the rules of the driveway again and again. You still see the same people doing the same things again and again. So, in reality, you can't blame Challenger School or the staff for the traffic situation. You have to look at the ones that don't know how to follow directions.

I also live in the neighborhood and see some of the problems. I live on Paseo Tierra, and I see everyone wanting to cut through my street to the Primary Plus campus, but do you see me calling the city about something so little as that? We get the people off Quito Road coming down our street because they don't want to wait for the light at Bucknall. Everyone has their problems, and I think we can resolve the situation if we all work together.

On Paseo Presada the problem is with El Quito Park being a sports park now. What does everyone have to say about the parking for the park when the sports events start taking place again? How to deal with the parking and people not paying attention to what they are doing or how they're parking? I find that every time I want to take my 5-year-old daughter to the park and play catch with her there is something going on. So we can't have time with my daughter to teach her how to throw or catch a ball. And the park still isn't done yet. How come it's taking so long?
