Change the crosswalk if you’re concerned about pedestrian safety. I don’t think it’s unsafe to begin with, but re-doing that whole entrance would be a huge waste of time and money.

This is NOT a good idea. There are only 2 buses in the morning, so there is NO NEED to change the intersection. They can certainly redirect the funds for this project, if possible given GDOT parameters, onto a BETTER use of the funds.

Perhaps the school board can be engaged.

Just move the cross walk. Much less expensive, accomplishes same goal….

Forcing buses to reverse to turn at the end of the school drivewa and increasing lines of cars waiting to pick up children not only increase traffic, they create an increased danger to pedestrians.

It seems like the plan was made based on numbers and charts, without meaningful observation.
