I agree Kirkwood is a tough street to cross.  However, a crossing guard at the crosswalk at the bottom of the stairs would adequately deal with this problem.  I don't see any reason why the stairs would have to be widened.  I can't see any practical way to add a handicap ramp to get up that hill.  Even if you did, it would be so steep as to be essentially unusable.   If that is a requirement, then the project wouldn't work.  I don't think that the ADA or common decency would require a ramp there.  In any event, there is already a sidewalk which runs up 14th St. which could be used if necessary.[/quote]

I agree except that I don’t think Kirkwood is difficult to cross and my family does it routinely.[/quote]

What I meant was that there are times (particularly around rush hour (i.e. when school is getting ready to start) when there is steady traffic on Kirkwood (i.e. 10-15 cars in a row), which would make it hard for kids to cross.  But a crossing guard would mitigate that problem.[/quote]
