Please keep the Evergreen Gate/School Street turnstile OPEN to pedestrians in our neighborhood.
Why is this important?
The Evergreen Gate/School Street turnstile provides residents of our neighborhoods with pedestrian access to the newly improved (Measure M) San Leandro High School sports complex, reducing traffic congestion on Bancroft Ave. A recent proposal before the School Board requests that the gate be permanently locked at all times, because some residents of that short cul-de-sac have voiced concern about issues such as parking enforcement and littering. We ask that the turnstile be kept OPEN to pedestrians during daylight hours, and that any parking or other issues be addressed separately. If needed, maintenance staff can easily lock and unlock the turnstile as part of their daily routines.
