The Panora City Council approves to extend the school zone from the corner of Panther Drive and West Clay Street for safety purposes. 

Mayor Pat Parker says this was a part of the Clay Street  Extension Project which is supposed to create alternative exits to Panorama Elementary. Parker says they designated a school zone from Panther Drive that curves around the elementary school to just past Little Panther Daycare Center, a 20 mile per hour speed limit. 

“And then no parking on the street to that area. And that will help keep cars from stopping on the road, creating congestion areas up there by the elementary with the buses going out and families trying to get the Little Panther, to the high school, or to the elementary to help keep that traffic all flowing.”

Parker says the speed limit signs have been placed and Clay Street is open to the public but there is still minor construction going on in that area.
