Point is no one can plan for every scenario possible.

Is the next school going to be built on the 110, I-10 interchange?? Seems like a planner or two need to be fired. Well of course he did that’s a ridiculous place to build a school!!

I was referring to the raised crossover. It is directly in front of Ferry Pass Elementary. It is actually closer to the medical center clinic side than the hospital. Also, those people were hit because a driver ran a red light and hit them. People are supposed to cross in the crosswalk when they have the signal. The crosswalk is right by the parking lot. I used the raised crossover to walk over to the school from the clinic and I wasn't the only person doing so. I am curious to know when it was built. I doubt it was for the hospital. The school is probably over 60 years old. Surely, not costing the tax payers much if anything now. @Rasheed I misspoke when I referred to the crosswalk in front of the school.

If it's only 2 million, surely the school district can pay for it, why is the state responsible for a local middle school? Maybe if it was a state college, trade school, or state charter but a public middle school for Escambia County? FAIL!

Had the individuals used the raised walk they would not have been hit. As you pointed out, in your first comment, it has been there for years and does not get used. It was a waste of taxpayer's money. @ Emom

Is there no critical thinking anywhere?
