The changes at Highlands Elementary, 5850 Laurel Ave., are intended to make it safer for pedestrians coming to or going home from school for the upcoming year.
The overall goal of the plan is to increase student and motorist safety, provide safer walking or biking access, decrease auto trips by encouraging walking or biking to school, establish a new mindset regarding drop off and pick up locations and to create less obtrusive stacking of cars in the rear of school.
At least they see the importance of making things safer, decreasing traffic and encouraging fitness. Way to go LaGrange Highlands School District 106!
.
Oh, in case you were wondering, yes, they did apply for and received funds in the SRTS grant program.
