Our town has a problem. Right now, there are no
sidewalks on Shaker Road, the street that the local
elementary school is on. Traffic reports show that Shaker
Road is the fourth-busiest road in town. According to
school records, a quarter of its students walk home every
day. Building sidewalks will keep students from walking
along the side of the road. This will also protect students
who are walking to evening events at the school. Since
many neighborhoods are in walking distance of the school,
it makes sense to put in pathways. To keep kids safe
walking to and from the school, the town needs to build
more sidewalks.
