Beyond those trees is Tan Lane which flooded yesterday. This is the proposed location for a parking lot at Main Street School. A parking lot may not be a good idea for this location. Unless it’s maybe a new super duper parking lot, a cutting edge parking lot, a green parking lot. How about no parking lot and more grass for a pickup game?

I can remember elementary school quite well, large classes, not alot of parents around. Those years my sons attended Lincoln & Main Linda and I both participated , occasionally during school hours. Between Cass St and it’s own parking lot Main Street School seems besieged by volunteers. It’s a good thing, in some measure.

If the level of visitors remains the same perhaps some could carpool or arrange a lighter presence amongst themselves.

This parking lot requires a rethink.

UPDATE July 29th

Well it would seem that some don’t want to tangle with the Schools on  this parking lot. It’s really not smart to go ahead or let the school go ahead with a poor parking lot design. I hope we are not relying on the Schools facilities team  for this project. I would much prefer to hear what Exeter Academy and their facilities  dept have to say. My point being that the Academy  has a more experienced team.
