[quote=Anonymous][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]
Not really.  You need to build a pedestrian bridge or use eminent domain to make a sidewalk.  All the people who say it’s crossable by young children either have not crossed it in the past ten years or live in Cherrydale and are pushing an agenda.  
George mason over by ats or wash blvd by wash lee are probably good comparisons for kirkwood.  I’m sure people jay walk across  those streets all the time too.  But I probably wouldn’t do it unless there was a street light, which there isn’t on kirkwood.[/quote]

APS can’t build pedestrian bridges or install sidewalks, that’s the county’s domain.[/quote]
