[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 Northwest HS kids got hit by a vehicle just after dismissal this afternoon, at Great Seneca Highway and Richter Farm Road. One of them went to the hospital with a head injury and a broken arm. It seems like drivers ought notice the mobs of kids on the sidewalk, realize that it's high school dismissal time, and slow down...[/quote]

I was at the County Executive candidates’ forum tonight and Ficker blamed those kids for getting hit.[/quote]

I think that is because that area is notorious for student jaywalkers. That’s the reason they put the fence up there but it still doesn’t contain the problem. [/quote]

If you're driving and you see a high school student in the road when they're not supposed to be there, what do you think?

A. Oh, there is a high school student, I will slow down/stop/do whatever it takes to not hit them.
B. That high school student is not supposed to be there! I am going to keep driving! If I hit them with my car, it's their own fault!

(There are 2,500+ students at Northwest HS. They do not fit on the sidewalk. The sidewalk is too narrow. The state should reduce Great Seneca Highway from 3 lanes to 2, widen the sidewalk, and add a protected bike lane.)[/quote]
