Students come to and from school every day and as parents, we want to make sure that our children are getting to school safely.  At Global Concepts Charter School 1001 Ridge Road Lackawanna NY, traffic in front of the school can be an issue at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day.  At times, cars do not follow the 15 mph speed limit hence we don’t even have a crossing guard to help our students cross that busy area on Ridge Road. Parents and students have had close calls with oncoming traffic during the morning and afternoon.  For the safety of all, I am asking that a High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk be considered.  In my opinion, this stretch of road would benefit from this type of crossing.  Students would be safer, parents would be appreciative, and the Global Concepts Charter School staff would see this as an assistance to their daily routine.
