Parking // Drop-Off Changes near Anson Elementary – Effective Wednesday, October 14, 2026

Parking changes will be implemented in the area around Anson Elementary during the day on Wednesday, October 14th, 2026. Changes will be made on 3rd Ave between South St and Anson St, as well as on South St between 3rd Ave and 5th Ave. Once implemented, the configuration for parking and student loading/unloading zones will be:
• 3rd Ave (Southbound Traffic: West Side) – No On-Street Parking between High St and South St.
• 3rd Ave (Northbound Traffic: East Side) – No On-Street Parking – Passenger Loading and Unloading only between South St and 200-ft south of Anson St.
• 3rd Ave (Northbound Traffic: East Side) – No On-Street Parking - 200-ft south of Anson St. to Anson St.

• South St (Eastbound: South Side) - No On-Street Parking – 3rd Ave to 230-ft east of 3rd Ave.

These areas will be signed. In areas designated as “Passenger Loading and Unloading Only”, temporary stops for the sole purpose of immediate discharge or immediate loading of students shall be permitted. Any such temporary stop shall be for a duration of the shortest possible time necessary to discharge or load students, shall be done in a manner that will not impede or hamper general traffic, and the driver shall remain in the vehicle.

Parents and guardians shall adjust their route to/from the school if they are picking up or dropping off students to be westbound on South St and northbound on 3rd Ave. Parents and guardians should not be dropping off or picking up any students traveling southbound on 3rd Ave or eastbound on South St.

Some additional safety tips to further aid in the safety of students:
• Only use the designated drop-off areas.
• Drivers should never stop on or across a crosswalk.
• Drivers should use turn signals when pulling into and exiting drop-off zones.
• Drivers should drive slowly and predictably when around school zones, always being prepared to stop if needed.
• Drivers should watch for children everywhere, keeping full attention on driving and watching for pedestrians.
• Students should have their backpacks, lunches, and other items ready and easy to grab before reaching the drop-off area.
• Students should exit and enter passenger vehicles from the passenger side/curb side whenever possible.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to the safety of drivers and students within our community.

Kids explore with their hands, which means floors, windows, toys, walls, and nearly everything else is fair game. Lead dust should not be. Young children face greater risks from lead exposure, and Marshalltown has HUD grant funding available to help eligible families make older homes safer. If your home was built before 1978 and a child under age 6 lives there, call 641-754-6583 to see if your household may qualify.
