[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kids cross George Mason every day with a crossing guard to get to Barrett. Most of the school's walkers, in fact. That intersection where they cross (Henderson) is also a busy street as it connects Quincy to Route 50. If elementary kids can cross there with a guard they can cross anywhere.[/quote] Sounds like it would be pretty easy to make Kirkwood crossable for ASFS. But in Arlington white kids get buses while minorities must cross busy streets?[/quote] APS is already struggling to get enough crossing guards, there are sites that have gone without permanent crossing guards all year. Given that, it would be foolish for APS to assume it will be able to hire more crossing guards to create more walking areas. You can look at whether certain crossings should be eliminated to free up those crossing guards for other locations, but you’ll have to make the case for why that’s a more efficient allocation of resources.[/quote]
