Resident urges board to address lack of pedestrian route to Natforce Elementary
Summary
A local resident told the board there is no safe pedestrian connection from a nearby bike path to Natforce Elementary's front door, describing a crossing through parking lots and graded grass that poses a hazard for children walking independently.
Dominic Calabresi, who identified himself as a local resident, told the board he observed a missing pedestrian connection between a bike path and Natforce Elementary's main entrance and was concerned about safety for children walking to school.
Calabresi described a route that ends without a sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to cross active car traffic in a drop-off area or to use rough grass or a less direct path that he said felt unsafe. He said he contacted the principal, who was sympathetic, and asked the board to be aware of the issue as families consider whether children can walk independently to school.
The board thanked the speaker; the transcript does not record a procedural response or a commitment to specific remedial action in the provided excerpt.
