Description

The crossing guard at this important intersection needs to be refreshed on his job description. Though he is very personable and is energetic towards his job, directing traffic IS NOT what he is supposed to be doing. The town is opening themselves up to some serious liability allowing him to do this if he happens to be the cause of an accident or something more serious. He also allows parents to stop in the middle of Denver street and let kids "jump out" of cars and run across the oncoming lane of traffic instead of being brought safely to the front of the school on Dow street. I understand its difficult to find people to man these posts but some checks and balances are needed, I pass by this area regularly and see some less than safe things happening.
