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?

CUSD student speaks out about traffic safety issue at Tesoro High School

Post "There is a big issue
that needs to be dealt with at [Tesoro High
School] and that is the tiny single entrance to
the school. I am not the only person at the school
that feels this way – there are many. Every
morning is a stress and struggle for me, my mom,
and many others that attend Tesoro. I live in Las
Flores, which is within a minute from the school,
and on a school day if I leave my house any later
than 25 minutes before school starts, I am
normally late. This is caused by the absurd,
small, single entrance that has to allow almost
4,000 kinds through it everyday. Not to mention
that this little entrance is a building car
accident maker as there have been many car
accidents on it since the opening of the school in
2001."
