Re “Why I Am Committed to Changes in Traffic Safety

Let me also register my disappointment with the delay of the “Safe Routes to School” grant.

Given the lead time necessary to implement any proposal once approved, it is very discouraging to hear that there will be yet another delay. I dread the next injury of a child (or adult) in our neighborhood and hope that the city and School Board are prepared for the kind of litigation likely to result from not taking timely action.

If it is possible, as John Heyl proposed in a letter yesterday, for the city to implement Assembly Bill 321’s speed limits in our high-risk neighborhood until more comprehensive measures are taken, it could provide some small measure comfort to our school community.
