Based off of the chaos I see daily at this intersection, I don’t feel safe letting my daughters walk to school alone at age 6 and 8 years old and we live 2 blocks away. I’ve even feared for my own safety as an adult who is much taller and more visible than a child, crossing the street. Changes need to be made for the sake of our children and our community.
As a parent, I'm terrified of the 6th & 13th intersection. Visibility is awful, cars block the crosswalk, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Let's make it safer for our kids!
I would love to see the city address the problems of this intersection. Even during low traffic times, I struggle with visibility of cross-traffic. It's obviously the worse during peak hours of school drop-off and pick-up. Not being able to see cross traffic requires you to pull forward completely into the crosswalk just to see, which creates a hazard for the little children walking to and from school. The crossing guards do as good of a job as they can do, but the lack of visibility and people stopping the middle of the intersection is what makes this intersection such a nightmare.
