[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to Jennifer L was awful & tragic. But Nottingham is not more inherently dangerous than other schools. Kids cross 26th and Sycamore everyday. I see them on my commute. Kids cross Carlin Springs. And Glebe. So argue for more safety precautions. But don’t exploit a tragedy in the interest of your convenience. That’s not ok. [/quote]

26th and Sycamore has a traffic light. That makes a big difference in managing traffic because at any given time, two directions of traffic must stop. That's not the case when you have stop signs, once people stop there they will sometimes proceed through if they feel it is clear enough despite the crossing guard holding traffic.

Even still, I recognize this issue is not limited to Nottingham. But that means [i]all of us [/i]should be asking the school board to give due consideration to traffic safety issues around the various sites, to make sure they are finding sites that are on the safer side. None of us want to see deaths at any of the APS schools.[/quote]
