Parking Lot Genius = Turn Right Out of the Parking Lot (even if I need to go left)
Several parents have discovered a super easy way to keep the traffic moving and for many to shorten their morning commute. Turning right out of the Appleton parking lot (even if you need to go left) keeps the traffic moving. Then they turn left on 23 ½ Rd (about 100 yards west from school). This leads them to the I-70 frontage road which takes you to either 23 rd to the west or to the roundabouts by Canyon View to the east. Give it a try.
