During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the safety of children walking to school, particularly along a hazardous route. Community members expressed their appreciation for the consideration of additional safety measures to protect students.

A key agenda item discussed was the proposal to enter into an interlocal agreement with West Haven City to establish an official school crossing zone at a critical intersection where Hooper students cross. The specific location mentioned was near 3525 or 3575, with confirmation that it is indeed 3525.

The need for this crossing zone was underscored by feedback from a crossing guard, who indicated feeling unsafe without the official designation. There were also mentions of drivers sometimes failing to yield to the crossing guard, highlighting the urgency of implementing these safety measures to ensure the well-being of students.

The meeting concluded with an open invitation for further questions, emphasizing the community's commitment to enhancing safety for its youngest members.
