Student Cross Walk

A fellow teacher explained to me an interesting issue the school has been dealing with since it opened 10 years ago. The school I am interning at is positioned near a fairly large and busy intersection. Generally right around the time school starts and the time school ends is when the traffic gets busier. The other fact about the location of this school is that it is located in Gilbert, but the intersection contains the cities of Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler and Maricopa County.

When the school was first build, the cities agreed to build a raised cross walk so the children could cross the street without dealing with the busy street. 10 years, later is has never been built. The cities were never able to agree upon how to split the cost of the project up. It's a shame.
