Don’t cross at Pine Avenue at Fountain, go find another. Sure, detour to 15th street? Kids are not going to do that.
The city is expected to hear a report from the traffic engineer who believes it was the right call to remove a crosswalk students would normally use.
He says it’s safer, but parents say otherwise.
Three crosswalks were previously consolidated into one crosswalk at Pine Avenue and 15th street, but there is debate that three is safer.
“They have to go way out of their way to cross at a safe spot and I know some middle schoolers aren’t going to do that,” Sally Jones a resident of Pacific Grove said. “It just makes sense to put it back the crosswalk.”
