SOS 120 Street Committee: Charter School - Thousands of Cars Coming Soon

Residents of the Crossing formed a committee called SOS 120 Street Committee back in 2016 in order to bring awareness regarding the proposed charter school expansion on 122nd St.  They have asked that we forward the following information to our residents and ask those interested to sign their online petition and help with bringing awareness to this issue by forwarding this information to your neighbors and friends via email or social media.

The SOS 120th Street Committee & The Kendall Federation of Homeowner Associations held a Town Hall Meeting on 5/24/2018 to discuss the proposed expansion of a Charter School at 13300 SW 120th St. The original plans called for for the school to expand from 600 students to 3,000 students that would result in 7,400 car trips per day on SW 120th Street. Since that time, they have reduced the proposed head count to 2,250 however even at that number, it will result in very heavy congestion due to all the additional car trips required to drop off and pick up these additional students.

The SOS 120 Street Committee will be holding an emergency meeting on 5/30/2018 
to discuss the issue before it goes up for a vote by the County Commision on 5/31/2018. Come learn about this proposed school and the traffic & safety impacts it will have on our community if the expansion is approved. Please come support your community and ask questions on May 30th at the Crossings HOA Clubhouse located at 11578 SW 132nd Ave.

The The SOS 120 Street Committee is also asking for assistance in handing out the attached flyers in order to bring more attention to the issue which will affect our community.

The SOS 120 Street Committee has also set up an online petition and ask that all those opposed to the charter school student expansion sign the petition located here and forward to your neighbors, friends via email and social media.  They need hundreds of signatures on this on-line petition by Wednesday so they can print them out and take them to the County Commission meeting on Thursday.
