Students crossing Aquarena Springs Drive put their lives in jeopardy every day. In this Bobcat Update, Sam Palasota tells us where the hazards are and what should be done.
Students face many hazards getting off the bus near Colony Apartments and Bobcat Village. The main danger is the four lanes of heavy traffic that’s between the bus stop and their home. For many students, this has become a normal part of their daily routine. Some students call it “playing frogger,” and developed their own strategies for crossing the road. Obvious solutions to this problem would be to install more stoplights or to construct crosswalks on Aquarena Springs Drive. Building crosswalks will take a backseat to other building projects including the proposed overpass the city hopes to build over the railroad tracks near Bobcat Stadium.
