In an effort to improve the safety of the traffic flow on Marvyn Parkway/Hwy 51 during afternoon dismissal from Southview Primary School, the following changes will be implemented on October 3, 2022.
Beginning October 3, 2022, cars will no longer be allowed to line up on Marvyn Parkway past the turn lane into Southview or block the intersection at Gateway Drive. All cars in the pick-up line will be routed to Hall Avenue to wait for dismissal at 2:45 p.m. The Opelika Police Department will have an officer at the intersection of Hall Avenue and Hwy 51 and one at the Southview entrance/exit on Hwy 51 to direct traffic during dismissal. All cars will be directed to park on the right side of Hall Avenue and wait for dismissal. Please do not block driveways. We are communicating this plan with the residents of Hall Avenue and appreciate their cooperation. Following student pick-up, cars will still be allowed to exit on Marvyn Parkway or Gateway Drive. A map of the new traffic pattern is below.
We realize that change is hard, but we appreciate your understanding as we work to make the traffic pattern safer for all residents traveling on Marvyn Parkway. If you have questions, please email [email protected]. If you have immediate safety concerns, please call the Opelika Police Department on the non-emergency dispatch number at 334-705-5260.
We appreciate your cooperation in making this area safer for all vehicles traveling in the area each day.
