I watched in horror this morning as a car almost hit a little boy in the intersection of Kenneth and San Jose Ave.

Both of my children have almost been struck by a car in the last few years walking to school in that intersection. I have seen it many times. I feel like this crosswalk without a stop sign is a tragedy waiting to happen.

I spoke with Ken Johnson, the Assistant Public Works Director this morning. I begged and pleaded to have them come out to view traffic control. They will be reviewing this week.

The city of Burbank recently received more than $800,000 in federal grant assistance for pedestrian and traffic safety upgrades. This is a perfect time to confront this issue.

If we have enough parents show up to the next city council meeting (Footloose style) with enough signatures, we should be able to get it done! I hope you can join me in this important fight to keep our kids safe.

Please sign the on-line petition. People that are interested in signing the petition should post to their Facebook page and forward the petition to all of their friends, family and co-workers in an email as well.

Thank you!
