I live in a bassacwards part of the country...they are still building lollypop subdivisions that are miles from any facilities and empty onto narrow 2 lane roads that are carrying 2-3 times the traffic volume they were designed for. The powers that be just built a cluster of 3 schools about 1.5 miles up the road from me. I would guess that 2/3rds of the school population for the elementary school lives within a mile of the school, but there is NO allowance for pedestrian access. They don't even have a crossing guard and there is a subdivision across the street from the school. Sameold, sameold...
