I would like to commend those responsible for the revised traffic lanes to Issaquah Middle School. In years past the passageway between the Community Center and the middle school parking lot were congested with both school buses and parent driven autos.

The commute near the Community Center is more orderly and safer. Thank you to those that have created this sensible traffic feature.
