[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me, or could all of this be solved with a crossing guard?

Maybe two crossing guards?

At the most, two guards and occasional PD help with traffic?[/quote]

It is you. Do you live here? There legit isn’t even enough room on the narrow sidewalks for the kids to wait for the light and walk. There are over a thousand kids, at any one time, transferring.

I live nearby and was in that intersection 3 times between 2-3:30.  1) that campus definitely isn’t closed, kids all over Bradlee at 2pm. Everywhere. Waiting for bus, hanging in front of McDonalds, sitting in front of Safeway, etc. I thought school got out around 3-3:15. At 2, 2:30 and 3:30 kids all over King, Braddock and Quaker. Kids waiting for the light to change so they’re piling into the actual street without a care in the world that their feet can get run over or worse. Kids jaywalking. Kids darting out and running. Kids who seem to deliberately walk against the light to upset drivers who have the right of way.

You think 2 crossing guards is going to fix that?  Lol. BTW there already were 2 cop cars in bradlee parking lot by McDonalds, at 2pm. [/quote]

Ok, thank you for the context and details. It’s unbelievable to me that 1,000 kids would need to switch at any given time. Given that ACPS said that would rarely be necessary if I recall correctly. Sigh.[/quote]
