Environmental and Adventure School
The City of Kirkland worked with the LWSD to address the severe traffic impacts on NE 132nd St, bordering the Finn Hill parking lot. To eliminate drop-off/pick-up traffic backing up onto the street, a new campus traffic flow is being implemented before and after school (see linked diagram). Vehicles dropping off/picking up Finn Hill students will now exit by driving behind the school and exiting via the EAS driveway on 84th Ave NE. This will result in crossing traffic as EAS vehicles turn into our bus loop. It’s important to note that:
- EAS vehicles entering our bus loop must yield to exiting FHMS traffic.
- Parents may not park on the east side of 84th Ave NE to pick up their students, as this creates a dangerous situation of students crossing the street without a crosswalk.
The district recognizes that this new process will take time to adjust to and is committed to supporting both Finn Hill and EAS with it. We ask our EAS community to familiarize ourselves with the plan and show patience and kindness as we work out any various issues with it.
