Quite seriously, the debacle of the new school aside, a pedestrian overpass there would be very welcome for bikers and runners and kids trying to get north to the skate park. I’m hoping it is true- being able to get kids safely to school is just a bonus.

Would be nice to have a crossing there and a pedestrian bridge over the canal
