Milam Elementary School has become increasingly dangerous for pedestrians and bike riders due to drivers ignoring traffic and parking laws. As the parking lot in front of Milam Elementary is for faculty and staff only, parents are forced to park across the street in a dirt lot or across the street at the Milam Youth Center. Other children walk and ride their bikes to school. We want our community on Fort Bliss to be safe for children and parents to walk and ride their bikes to school without being injured by dangerous drivers. We have asked for increased military police presence during morning and afternoon times, and have not seen significant changes.
We want the local law enforcement agency to:
1) Aggressively enforce traffic laws with TICKETS. Specifically, for offenses such as speeding in a school zone, not yielding to pedestrians, parking on red curbs, driving over sidewalks onto the street, and texting/talking while driving through a school zone.
2) Assist in being the crossing guards, or assisting volunteer crossing guards with aggressive pursuit and ticketing of drivers who fail to yield to the guards.
3) Pave the dirt lot that is designated as parent/additional parking for Milam Elementary.

You can add in there ticket the people that illegally park in the entrance to the cys and reduce it to a one lane entry. Nothing is more annoying then people who block the entrance so that others can't get to the cys.
I just want it safe for the kids. I saw a parent and a child on two different occasions almost get run over.
My children and I almost got hit by a car backing out on the corner , parking to close to the cross walk . The drivers are just getting worse and worse
Please! We need these MPS to enforce these rules and for the safety of our children.
Uphold the law
Cross walk needed between Rio Bravo and dirt road to walk towards Milam
I agree

I would like to add there is also an extreme need for crossing guards and school zone lights and laws for the street that runs between the Rio Bravo neighborhood and Aero Vista neighborhood. This is the walking path for the kids that live in Rio Bravo neighborhood and there is NO safety measures at all for crossing this road and its very dangerous!
