A recent accident involving a student from a nearby school has highlighted the urgent need for increased safety measures at the intersection near Lincoln-Marti Charter School Hialeah Campus and the other 2 schools. This busy intersection is perilous for students and pedestrians, posing a constant threat to their safety every day.

The specific stoplight in question is not only a concern for the Lincoln-Marti Charter School but is also a significant hazard for other major schools located in the surrounding residential area. With children and families crossing this intersection daily, the potential for further accidents is too great a risk to ignore.

According to the National Safety Council, pedestrian deaths have increased by over 50% in the last decade. This alarming trend is reflected in local statistics, where inadequate crosswalk safety has proven detrimental to our community’s well-being.

The installation of dedicated cross guards at this intersection can provide an immediate improvement in safety for pedestrians and students alike. Cross guards can mitigate risks by facilitating safe passage for our community during peak school hours, ensuring vehicles remain aware of pedestrian presence, and maintaining a controlled environment for children crossing one of the busiest streets in the area.

We urge the Hialeah City Council and the administration of Lincoln-Marti Charter School to undertake swift measures to ensure our children have safe passage to and from school. A small investment in safety today can prevent tragedies tomorrow.

Parents, teachers, and concerned community members must rally together to demand that cross guards are stationed at this critical intersection. This is not only a matter of public safety but also a preventive measure to protect our young ones.
