12.15.010 Street closure policy.
The following policy is approved and adopted, and henceforth all street closure and load limit restrictions will be disseminated in accordance with this policy insofar as it is possible to do so:
(1) A list of streets which will remain open and available for school bus use during thawing conditions will be supplied to each and every school district operating on City streets. This will be accomplished during the month of September of each school year.
(2) In the event street closures are required, the school district will be notified prior to 1:00 p.m. of the day preceding the road closures on school bus routes, to be effective the following day. If the morning pick-up of children is accomplished, the school district will be permitted to use these routes for the returning of the children to their normal bus stops.
(3) School buses will be permitted to turn around at the intersection of a school bus route which is closed, and the open route with the minimum maneuvering possible on the closed road in the intersection area.
(4) The City will establish the necessary communications with the school districts to provide the proper notification. The City Public Works Director will initiate street closures and, unless specified otherwise, closures shall be City-wide. (Amended at request of department 2/08; Ord. 38-02 § 2 (12.03.010))
