Please sign this petition to show your support of a new crosswalk at 5th Ave. and Marion Rd. near Moore Middle School. This crosswalk is needed to keep students safe as they enter the school's gate on 5th. The nearest crosswalk is on the east side of the gate (at 5th and S. Dearborn St.) so students are tempted to dart across the street instead of doubling back after crossing at S. Dearborn. A very dangerous situation! This petition will be turned in by May 17 and presented to the Redlands Traffic & Parking Commission. If you prefer, the direct contact for this agenda item is Johana Silva at (909) 798-7584 ext. 7.
I fully support this petition for the safety of the students at Moore Junior High. I live next door to Moore on Redlands Street and have witnessed an enormous amount of drivers go through the stop signs at the intersection of Redlands St./Lincoln and Highland St. without any regard to students waiting to cross at the corners. I can imagine how challenging it is to cross the street from Marion Rd. and 5th St. Traffic is typically heavy there on a regular basis and drivers can easily be distracted or un-attentive. Let's not wait until we have a serious injury or fatality.
