The school administration formally adopted the traffic pledge policy this morning. We have successfully secured a commitment to keep neighborhood streets clear for our residents. I will monitor the implementation of these new parking guidelines over the next few weeks to ensure full compliance.

I, as a Sebastopol Charter School parent and as a member of our beautiful Sebastopol community, want to demonstrate my sincere commitment to being good neighbors. I recognize and honor our neighbors' rightful desire that there be no school traffic on their neighborhood streets.

I am ready to Take the Pledge!


I promise:

  • I will NEVER use Hurlbut, E. Hurlbut, Apple Blossom Lane, or any other neighborhood street to drive to or from school.
  • I will NEVER drop-off or pick-up students on Hurlbut or E. Hurlbut.
  • When arriving by car, I will ALWAYS access the campus from its ONLY entrance on Highway 116.
  • I will ALWAYS obey the stop signs where the school driveway crosses the trail, and I will ALWAYS check carefully for walkers and bicyclists before. I understand that trail users have the right of way.
  • I will ALWAYS respect the maximum driveway and parking lot speed of 10 mph.
  • I will ALWAYS either park in a designated parking space to drop-off and pick-up students OR use a designated drop-off/pick-up zone.
  • I will NEVER block the drive aisle: if the drop-off/pick-up zone is full, I will make another transit of the parking loop until there is space available in the drop-off/pick-up zone.
  • I will ALWAYS use crosswalks, both on-campus and off-campus, and I will instruct my child(ren) to do so as well.
  • I will NEVER park in spaces reserved for West County Trail users during the times designated.

I am currently consolidating the list of signatories to present to the school board administration. This documentation establishes the neighborhood mandate required for the upcoming traffic safety committee meeting. I expect a formal response from the district office regarding their enforcement plan by the end of the week.

Through the years we have been quiet comitted to carpool to protect the enviroment, and teach our children that each person can contibute to solve problems instead of increasing them. We commit to never use Hurlbut St or East Hurbut st and access SICS only by 116. We commit to protect this area.

I lived on Hurlbut St for 4 years when I first moved to Sebastopol. I understand how fast regular traffic already drives on both Hurlbut & E. Hurlbut, and how scary that can be when trying to walk there. I will not contribute to that traffic.

My son currently rides his bike or walks to school daily and loves it. He's looking forward to biking to the new school. If we need to drive, we will use the main entrance only.

This will be suck exciting time for city to see the path used to its fullest as a way to get place with out cars. We are so fortunate to have the trail .

As a resident of East Hurlbut I promise to never use the Hurlbut entrance and will always keep a watchful eye on others to make sure the neighborhood is kept as safe and free from dangerous traffic as possible

I take the concerns of the Hurlbut residents very seriously! We live on a residential street that happens to be used as a shortcut and am consistently disappointed by the motorists' excessive speed.
