“I made my sign and got dressed up and people noticed,” Spar-Kelly said.
“Finally, people noticed.”The sign drag queen Spar-Kelly holds reads simply: “THIS IS NOT STUDENT PICK-UP, HONEY.” She held the sign in the neighborhood for three days.
She and her neighbors say dozens of Creekside High School parents have been parking down the street during school pickup to avoid the long line to the school on Longleaf Pine Parkway.
“The cars were parked and another car pulls around the parked cars and t-boned her.”On Wednesday, Spar-Kelly’s initiative paid off.
Commissioner Christian Whitehurst said he is now working with St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office to get new “no parking” signs installed, showing that people can’t park in the neighborhood during afternoon pick up hours.
