I am petitioning the Northside transportation department to keep a school bus for the creekside neighborhood. As of now they have discontinued a school bus going to and from Raba elementary. They said they are discontinuing bus transportation because there are adequate sidewalks. They expect children to cross Westover hills boulevard to get to and from school. Westover hills is a very dangerous street. Children could get hit by a vehicle. Also it will take children 30 minutes or more to just get to or from school. There are a lot of families that depend on the school bus dropping off and picking up their children. I am asking for families to sign my petition for them to bring back a school bus for Creekside neighborhood.

My daughter rides the bus to school every morning. Without the school bus I will now have to ask for different time to clock in at work. The streets are way to busy for anyone to walk. At times it's dark! What a horrible inconvenience!!!

I ask officials making the decision to remove the bus route to come down 5700 block of Deertail Crk and walk with my barely five year old to Raba School and really think if a child can make that trek alone.

It is very unsafe for our children to be crossing westover hills, there is no school zone speed limit sign, its a 25-30 min walk from neighborhood to school, and transportation dept is saying it is up to school if they want to put a crossing guard.

This is a nightmare and a great disservice to our children. While the massive 848.91 million bond that just passed was suppose to add buses, instead we lose buses as soon as it is passed. Parent pick up for these schools with over a thousand students will be horrific.

I live in creekside, As a grown adult with decades of driving experience Westoverhills Blvd is terrifying. Has whom ever made this rule visited the intersection during school traffic times? It's a death trap. An idea, maybe just a community bus stop at the club house could be a compromise?

I find it hard to understand how the school finds it safe for my 10 and 5 year old to cross West overhills with all the traffic that passes thru there. I ask for NISD to reconsider this decision and actually take the children's well being on this!

I am concerned that my first grader will be exposed to significant traffic risks, especially in the morning where people drive quickly down nearby roads.

Children should not have to walk 2 miles to get to school. Its not safe in any way.
