The City of York and the York Academy Regional Charter School have announced traffic flow changes for the Academy’s Lower School. This involves Beaver Street, West North Street, Gay Avenue, and Cherry Lane during the morning hours from 6:00 am to 9:00 am and the afternoon hours from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm. The changes will assist in providing safe drop-off and pick-up of children attending the York Academy Regional Charter School while school is in session.
Starting at the intersection of Beaver Street and Gay Avenue, all traffic traveling north on Beaver Street will be required to travel north to West North Street. The intersection of Beaver Street and West North Street is now an all-way stop for all vehicles. All traffic traveling south on Beaver Street will be required to turn left (east) on West North Street. Flaggers will be positioned at locations on North Beaver Street and West North Street to reinforce and control the new clockwise traffic flow.
The York Academy Regional Charter School opened in 2011 and has experienced significant growth to over 1,000 students with many parents driving their children to school.
