The Vine Street construction that started on Wednesday has had an impact on businesses, drivers, and especially on Holy Family Elementary School adjacent to the street work.
Principal Rachel Wentling told Hays Post, “After the first day we had to do a little rerouting for morning drop off time. The afternoons are going better.”
Wentling said she called city manager Toby Dougherty to help her staff coordinate times and they were helpful.
“We also sent an email to parents to communicate with them about not making U-Turns on 18th street and to drop off on the North Side of our building,” Wentling said. “It is something we were going to do next school year but we just started a few weeks early. Some things are inconvenient and challenging but you find a way to make it work.”
