Parent calls traffic conditions at Tesoro High School dangerous, nightmare

Jeanne Johnson, The Ladera Post "For two miserable years I have driven my granddaughter to Tesoro High in the morning before I go to work in San Clemente. What a nightmare it has been. I have raised my granddaughter for 12 years on my own and this has been one of the most trying things I’ve had to contend with, along with raising a teenager. It usually takes 35 minutes out of my morning to get her to school. I also think it is very dangerous for new teenagers driving to school, as cars are quickly cutting in front of other cars with very short or no notice, or turning from a lane they shouldn’t turn from. I pray this construction schedule will happen soon ... We built a high school with only one entrance to the school and now over 3,000 kids attend it. And of course the traffic planning was overlooked. What happened?
