[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live about 1 mile from our elementary school and our kids have walked to school a handful of times in 10 years.   There is one fairly busy street that has to be crossed and there isn't a guard.  The rest of the walk would be fine but I can't have my kids cross that street on their own.
[b]It's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.  PGCPS won't put in a guard because not enough people walk, no one walks because there isn't a guard.   I've asked our local law enforcement and they can't assign an officer there at arrival and dismissal.[/b]

Don't get me started about PG county governments unwillingness to put in traffic lights at school entrances.  Northwestern High School is a nightmare and if it wasn't for the crossing guards it would be a blood bath.  School and neighborhood groups have been advocating for years but instead of a light they put in a "smart" crosswalk.

100% Ive complained to the city about the safety of our crossing and they were like yeah we will get to it. This main road cuts through a large section of the city and there should be a stop sign at every intersection. They put speed bumps in 1-1.5miles down the road when someone died and I guess thats what it will take for them to care.

Again, it woudnt be such a nightmare if there werent so many cars. They werent designed to handle 100-200 cars dropping off and picking up in 30 minutes. [/quote]
