We mark areas as "dangerous" and thats it? A kid is dead, but really, its noones fault? I'm afraid your thinking on this is roughly 60 years behind. Of course

  I think there are plenty of people who can shoulder this blame, the city planners that put two schools on what is basically a highway come to mind. Look, the schools are already there, no sense tearing them down now and traffic calming is a fine solution but it shouldn't have been like this in the first place. There are plenty of areas marked as too dangerous for pedestrians when it comes to zoning decisions and this should have been one of them.

  >A kid is dead, but really, its noones fault? You don't don't seem to be reading what the OP is writing. They are clearly laying the blame at the feet of the people who decided to build 2 schools on opposite sides of a dangerous street. Where are you getting "it's no ones fault"

    Nobody cares there are schools there. It has no bearing on the safety of street design. There are sidewalks, the infamous crosswalk over 40 mph lanes: clearly it's a residential area. To blame the school placement (likely decided by the very same governmental body doing the street design) is the epitome of the problem here: "what are the pedestrians doing on my street".

      You just completely ignored my post . You don't seem to be reading what people are writing.
