Traffic Announcement
ASB parents and community members, please do not block the sidewalks around ASB’s campus when entering the ASB loop. It is incredibly unsafe, and illegal to block the sidewalks with your car. This is the second time the school has made this request. It is especially a problem in the afternoons, on the sidewalk at NE 65th St, at the entrance to the loop/faculty parking lot/north parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation.
