Have you got an hour a day to spare? How about an hour a week? O.K. then, 1 hour a month?
Call me an idealist, but I believe that’s really about all it would take to solve one of our most pressing problems. I am referring to our children’s safety in route to and from school.
While the city and the schools have indicated that a school zone will soon be implemented at the Robertsville Rd/Illinois Ave intersection, this is only a small step towards solving a much larger problem. With one child having already been hurt, we can no longer afford to rely on our local government to protect our children.
If you would like to contribute to solving this problem in an immediate and effective way, email me today at protectoakridgekids@gmail.com or visit http://protectoakridgekids.blogspot.com/ to start working together to solve this problem.
