Very interesting. The pre k program was shut down for 3 weeks because a child had Covid and when we returned the crossing guard was taken away because she had a zero count of walker’s passing during the time when she was told to count the walkers. I had to make numerous phone calls to get a crossing guard back since my 5 grandchildren go there. They have removed the crossing guard at Highland and Osborne also. This is a great concern because we all know what can happen at this intersection. I was told she was removed also because she never has a child crossing there with the exception of two young boys crossing every once in a while. Also the speeding on Osborne is happening even while the school flashers are on. Please let neighbors know that it could be that one morning these two little ones are crossing and be careful while going through Highland and Osborne. There lives matter also.
