use by the community. Gopher holes have plagued the play fields which have become a tripping hazard for students. The landscape at campus entry does not have any irrigation. Also, the kindergarten playground currently has no lawn area, so increasing the yard size to encompass sod would be ideal. At the interior part of campus, concrete walks are heaving which are a tripping hazard.
Specific to the building interiors, door signage is no longer ADA accessible, about half the door hardware needs to be upgraded to meet ADA standards, the stage curtains at multi-purpose are old and out-dated, the kitchen should be refurbished, the HVAC system causes temperature issues throughout the campus, and light fixtures need to be relamped.
Narrative SummaryPony Express Elementary was originally constructed in 1964 and received a modernization in 2002-2003. However, there are still a number of areas that require improvement.
While the parking lot is adequate size for staff, there is no dedicated bus lane and parent drop-off. This has caused an unsafe condition when buses and parents drop students off within the parking lot or at the street. Reconfiguration of the parking area and a drop-off lane addition would greatly resolve this matter.
Elsewhere on site, the hard-surface playground needs a new overlay with striping. Asphalt paving at the garden area needs to be replaced and tables with a shade structure would facilitate better
