School district, bus company seeking changes to OMS traffic flow, citing safety concerns
The hectic morning drop-off situation at Owatonna Middle School has Owatonna Bus Company and school district officials worried, raising concerns about local traffic patterns and student safety. Both entities have proposed closing 15th Street NE for 20 minutes on school mornings, requiring families to drop students off in the parking lot rather than in front of the school. The proposed closure would last from 7:25 to 7:45 a.m. and would be enforced with signage and traffic cones, limiting the street to buses and local traffic only. According to Curt Langeberg of the Owatonna Bus Company, families and school buses dropping off students at the same time and place has become a safety hazard. “Increasingly last year, parents were coming in actually from both ends to drop their students out of their own personal vehicles. We had a variety of situations that happened. We had parents dropping their students on the south side of 15th Street and having them walk across. As our buses are starting to leave, they’re on the blind side of the driver. That’s not a safe situation. We have parents coming in from the east end that pull up towards the east end of that transfer zone,
