"<p>Unsafe road conditions around Estero High School now has the village of Estero stepping in to make some significant changes.</p> <p>The problem is Williams Road in front of Estero High School, and its lack of turning lanes has created problems at inlets to the school and at River Ranch Road.</p> <p>It's a ritual repeated twice every weekday at Estero High School, as parents line up for pickup and drop-off, and buses make their way in and out.</p> <p>“It’d be nice if they had a wider space for people to sit and wait,\" said Jennifer Bryan, a parent. \"It gets dangerous with all the people trying to cut around. Actually, I worry about the students because they don’t have the experience coming in and out of the parking lot.”</p> <p>But according to some, the lack of turn lanes on Williams Road is making things more complicated.</p> <p>That's why Estero High School asked the village for help.</p> <p>Now, Estero is vetting consultants plans to make the road safer by proposing the addition of three turning lanes on Williams Road.</p> <p>“One of the things they pointed out was that Williams Road doesn’t have any turn lanes, so the busses, when they are turning in and out of the school, are turning into traffic,” said Estero Public Works Director David Willems.</p> <p>The hope is by next school year, coming and going from Estero High School will be much quicker, safer and easier.</p> <p>“Well, the devil is in the details,\" said Kenneth Hart, an Estero resident. \"But if they can work out the snarls and snags I think it would be helpful not just for the residents but the parents and the school children as well.”</p> <p>There's no word yet on what the consultant might cost. The village of Estero is evaluating finalists for the project next Tuesday.</p> <p><br />© Copyright 2018 WBBH/WZVN (Waterman Broadcasting). All rights reserved.</p><script></script>"
