Bostonia Elementary School
Liane Gil: Although Bostonia is one the best schools for any child to attend I am still concerned with the safety of the children walking to and from the school , From Third ave to the schools cross walk the lights are unpredictable and don't allow enough time for the kids to cross already four children have been hit by cars and my own son almost got hit,Bostonia has a wonderful school cross walk in from of the school but I would like to see the school Board get involved with more safety for the kids that walk just a block down, there is no speed signs or school & Periastron signs from Third ave > The drivers are not concerned with the speed and do not allow the children to complete the crossing of the street before proceeding through the light. PLEASE GET INVOLVED AND CARE A LITTLE MORE.
