Action Line

My wife is a DODDS employee with a DODDS parking permit. Due to the new way they have the buses routed this year she has had problems with parking. Since they close the roads down, where are the teachers supposed to park? Due to all the construction on the parking lot beside the Auto Pride, this means that she would have to park a very long distance away. In cold temperatures this is not safe for her, but also my son who she brings with her. Why are the MPs not briefed since there have been many stories of parking behind the MP building that also leads to the church parking lot. As temperatures drop and roads get worse my concern is their safety and since she is entitled to park over there, what can be done?
