Concerns over student safety and infrastructure were at the forefront during a recent government meeting, as community members voiced their apprehensions regarding increased traffic near local schools. A parent highlighted the potential dangers posed by the influx of children crossing busy roads to reach Wilton Elementary and the junior high, citing personal experiences where their own children faced perilous situations.
The parent expressed gratitude for some adjustments made by developers but remained skeptical, referencing past instances where commitments made by other developers were not fulfilled. This sentiment of distrust underscores a broader concern within the community about ensuring adequate safety measures and infrastructure improvements to accommodate the growing number of families moving into new residential developments.
As discussions continue, the community is urging local officials to prioritize student safety and to hold developers accountable for their promises, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive plan that addresses both traffic management and pedestrian safety in the area.
