SAFE WALKING
New sidewalks to schools
The Missourian article "Sidewalks to schools are goal of proposals" by Matthew Graham details the new sidewalks on Propositions 4 and 5 on Columbia's ballot for the Nov. 8 election. The sidewalks, according to a graphic featured in the article, would be constructed around five elementary schools. The sidewalks are being built to help make students' trips to school safer.
Back when I was in elementary school, my mom would not let my younger brother and I walk to school due to the lack of safe pathways and sidewalks leading to my school. She always drove us or got another adult to get us there. I actually remember one year when a kid in my brother's grade got hit by a car due to the fact that there was not a sidewalk for the kid to walk on. In my opinion, as I learned from that experience, sidewalks are always a good idea in areas with high foot traffic, especially children.
