[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:16  The mayor herself lives in NW, so I think it's a little off to say that the town doesn't care for that side. The local high school is also located there. They probably are concerned about overcrowding of roads due to the high school and Louise Archer. There are more stop signs in that area than I think any other quadrant. That quadrant doesn't have sidewalks along Windover because the residents didn't want it. It was and still is #1 or #2 on the town's sidewalk priority list.[/quote]

If they're concerned about overcrowding of roads, they can get the police out there to ticket the people who cross the yellow lines on Nutley directly in front of Archer and drive around cars waiting in line to turn into the Archer parking lot for dropoff and pickup. I have seen it done repeatedly. The police did provide officers to act as crossing guards at Nutley and Knoll, which is great, and much needed because drivers used to (as in, up to a few months ago) blow through the stop sign and clearly marked crosswalk there as well. But the crossing guard officer can't see when people are zipping around cars that are waiting in traffic ahead of them at the school's entrance down the block, and he couldn't stop what he's doing to ticket them if he did see. If the town is worried about the roads around Archer and Madison, it should start by doing some enforcement drives to nail the dangerous drivers who decide their rush to work is worth crossing lines and going around cars.[/quote]
