Allendale Rohsler’s hosts Founder’s Day festivities

Rohsler’s Allendale Nursery and Florist in Allendale. Rohsler’s is now commem-
orating 100 years in business.
Alternate side parking

said, parking would be limited to the south
side of the street from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
“This way everyone will be kept on
the south side for pick up without crossing
West Prospect,” Kratz said. “We recognize
others will then go from Idalane to West
Prospect. We’ll just have to monitor it,”
he added. He said at the time of the police
survey, about 12-15 cars were parked on
both sides of Idalane, with an additional 8-
15 parked on West Prospect on both sides
of the intersection waiting to pick up stu-
dents. Frank McKenna said perhaps the school
administration could be asked to stagger
the dismissal time of the middle school and
high school students.
John Livesey said that restricting
Idalane parking might move the problem
up to Yvonne, resulting in two blocks with
problems. Kratz said perhaps parents would real-
ize that parking on West Prospect instead
would be a better solution. “They can get
in and out quicker,” he said.
The administrator said that permit-only
parking for residents was not considered
a good idea, as had been suggested by the
residents, because it would have forced
everyone onto West Prospect. Closing the
access gate in the back of the school was
also discarded, he said, because of the 80-
90 students who use the street to go home,
60 percent walk home rather than being
picked up.
