So glad they were not injured…the traffic in front of Jim Allen during the am and pm drop-off/pick-up times is dangerous to all concerned. Thru-traffic is backed up and visibility is poor at best, considering the turn lane traffic. One is really at the mercy of irregular traffic flow. Heaven forbid if one needs to turn North out of the school during these times!
I have communicated my concerns to Mr. Thomas, long before this incident. There is a nice, long turn lane at Molino Park Elementary, also at the Berryhill Elementary School on Berryhill Road in Santa Rosa County. Something similar would really alleviate this issue. Hopefully before any more wrecks or worse, injuries are sustained by local families.
