This is a school zone. Kids walk to and from school, often alone. This property’s construction continues to regularly block access to the back entrance of the school. Today the sidewalk is closed off, again, and the crosswalk leading to the school is also blocked off by construction vehicles. There is no crossing guard on duty. There is no light to indicate someone is crossing. This is a safely issue that needs to be addressed. The children of Burlington should have the right to walk safely to school and teachers should be able to get to the parking lot without being held up for whatever construction vehicle is blocking the entrance. Again, this is not just a one time issue. Perhaps these companies could hold off on interfering with everyone else’s commute, whether by vehicle, bicycle, or on foot until AFTER schools have started, as well as when school has ended? Today’s crop of workers were not even working at this time, just standing around smoking and talking, so i think it’s safe to say that it isn’t necessary for them to “begin” before school is in session.
