When the bell rings for students to go home the quiet and serene field of asphalt in front of school becomes a sinkhole and everyone is fighting to get out. Most school parking lots are accessible, safe, and orderly; the Hinckley-Big Rock High School parking lot is an accident waiting to happen. With so many problems, a slight redesign of the schools main parking lot would seem practical.
Anytime the idea of making any corrections or additions to the parking lot comes up in a discussion, the notion is put down due to the time the parking lot would be unusable while under renovation. How long does it take pavers to put in a residential driveway? A licensed and bonded concrete crew can lay multiple driveways in one day, and to add an entrance to the parking lot is very comparable. Therefore, if the school shut down the front parking lot for less than a week, students could enter and exit the parking lot quickly and with ease or the school could schedule the work for days the students have off..
Hinckley-Big Rock High Schools parking lot offers no security from hazards entering it. When a parking lot is with-in shouting distance to cornfields, where deer tend to congregate, it makes sense to have a guardrail around the perimeter of it. Not only would this stop the occasional wild animal from wandering into the parking lot, but it would help to keep cars that go off the road in front of the school from entering it. Some of the students vehicles are not new models and have some problems stopping or staying stopped, and a guardrail would stop the vehicles from rolling into the front of the school or even worse into busy Route 30.
When the first hour bell rings on the first day of school the parking lot has few cars and they are packed into certain areas. Why should spots be handed out numerically? A first come first serve basis for assigning parking spots to students only causes crowding and large empty spaces. With only enough cars to fill up half a parking lot, it would make sense to spread them out evenly. Numbers for these spots should be first handed out evens first, so at least for awhile there will be an ease of entering and exiting individual parking spots with out having to watch out for every other vehicle around. Then later in the year as needed the odd numbered spots can be issued, filling up all empty spaces.
When vehicles are on both sides of a spot it can be difficult to pull straight into a parking spot without having to back out and try again because of the tight aisle. If all the spots are tight together
