Parking Struggles

The time it takes to get home from school is absurd depending on which side you park on. The side most people will think of is the athletic not only because of sports but for the reason that its the faster parking lot to get out of. Athletic has three exits and academic only has one.

Arianna Henriquez parks on the academic side and said that it takes her around 30 minutes to get out some days but she says “I will go around the back” which only takes her five minutes.

Ben Crawford parks on athletic because he plays a sport and comes in the back gate. It takes him approximately two minutes to leave on athletic because his class is so close to the doors. 

He thinks that we should be able to go around the back of the school because the times he’s had to park on academic it took forever.

“The back is just a faster way to get through places,” he said.

He believes very strongly that the school should have another exit.

Laura Fabian (junior) also parks on the athletic side because it’s quicker to get out of and she comes in through the back gate in that her house is on the other side of Riverside.

“Around 15 minutes but only because I like to wait on all the other cars to leave before I back out,” she said.

Carson Owen also parks on athletic but he’s a little different because he leaves from athletic to go out the front gate which takes him around 20 minutes so he doesn’t get home until 3:30 p.m.

The daily parking struggle will continue.
