Some <br />residents have complained that there is a need for a <br />sidewalk on Cameron for the safe travel to and from <br />Mohr school for students who walk or bike. I would <br />like to add my concern to this issue, but from a <br />different point of view. I am now fifteen years of <br />age, but I attended Mohr from the year it opened <br />(1997) until 2000. I would like to give you some info <br />not from the adults' and parents' point of view, but <br />from the students. <br /> <br />I do know that the close neighbors to the property <br />are opposed to having a sidewalk, but I also know that: <br />without a sidewalk the students and drivers would have <br />to be much more careful, which is something that <br />doesn't always happen when rushing to school in the <br />morning and from school in the afternoon. I remember <br />that when kids were riding on one side of the street, <br />the cars would drive into the other lane to prevent a <br />collision. However, with the new development, more <br />cars will be travelling in both directions, making it <br />impossible to maneuver around walkers and bikers. <br />Also, there will be sidestreets on both sides of <br />Cameron, so the children wouldn't be able to cross to <br />the other side of the street to avoid the turnoffs. <br /> <br />After walking to Cameron and thinking about how <br />the roads would be l~yed out, it became very obvious <br />to me that Cameron will not be safe for children to <br />travel on. We must remember that Cameron is one of, if <br />not the main routes to Mohr, and with the new <br />development going in it will be a much wiser choice to <br />install a sidwalk. Sure, it may look nicer without <br />one, but it won't be as nice when elementary school <br />children start getting hit by cars. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Kevin Krakauer <br />1969 Palmer Drive <br /> <br />1 <br />
