And an underpass would just give the graffiti(sp?) idiots another place to paint! They've already ruined some homeowners fence on the walking trail. Ugh! When I see that I wish I could set up a camera along the trail and run out and spray paint some hoodlums a@@ when they show up.(I sound all bad right?)lol I bet you could figure out easily who they were the next day!
The fix for the trail is so easy...stop the trail there. Anyone out of the neighborhoods that want to walk to school can go down to the crosswalk already there. It's not that hard! Save a life, hello? That still leaves plenty of trail to use. Anything less than a stop light there (which would be ridiculous), will not ensure safety especially with younger drivers heavily on that road.
I watched the City Council meeting on this and was stopping the trail at Stockbauer even mentioned? Did I miss it or was it not an option?

Catahula said.. And then in a flash flood we have someone drown who is stupid enough to ride or run into it.
LOL! LOL! That is too funny and true.

A pedestrian overpass would have to be about 15' high, geez, all so the walkers wouldn't have to stop. And they probably wouldn't use it anyway.

The best suggestion was in today's paper. Stop the trail at John Stockbauer and forget about a million dollar overpass/underpass.

Do something that does not cost money. Can you imagine the cost of digging out an underpass. And then in a flash flood we have someone drown who is stupid enough to ride or run into it.

Reduce the speed or end the trail. Don't bleed the budget.

Stop the trail at John Stockbauer.
