Parents urge Sierra Madre to restore crossing guards at busy Auburn/Highland intersection
Summary
Parents at Sierra Madre Elementary urged the City Council to provide crossing guards or police support at the crowded Auburn/Highland intersection after volunteer school staff stopped assisting because of safety concerns.
Parents of Sierra Madre Elementary students told the City Council on May 27 that the Auburn/Highland intersection has become unsafe for children arriving and leaving school and asked the city to provide crossing guards or stepped-up police enforcement.
Why it matters: Parents said the intersection is a four-way stop with two vehicle drop-off lines, heavy pedestrian traffic and repeated near-miss incidents. With teachers and staff no longer willing to volunteer as crossing guards, speakers said children are crossing unsupervised twice a day.
