Bowling Green City School District has identified additional crosswalks and arranged for more crossing guards to help students get to school safely, according to Superintendent Francis Scruci.
“We know that our busing situation has caused some stress in regards to moving the radius to two miles due to driver shortage,” Scruci wrote in an email to parents on Monday. “However, we are optimistic that we will be able to return to the one mile no later than January and with any good fortune sooner.”
Due to the two mile radius becoming necessary, the district is aware that there will be additional walkers, so efforts have been made with the City of Bowling Green and Bowling Green Police Division to identify additional crosswalks necessary to make the morning and afternoon commutes as safe as possible. The district was able to secure additional crossing guards Monday afternoon and wanted to convey the areas where they will be posted to help students cross safely.
The crosswalks will be as follows and will be in effect from 8:15 to 9:15 a.m. and then again from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m.:
- Conneaut Avenue and Haskins Road (same as last year)
- South College Drive and Scott Hamilton Avenue (same as last year)
- Sand Ridge Road and South Church Street (same as last year)
- Poe Road and Haskins Road (new this year)
- Napoleon Road near the 400 block (new this year)
- Gypsy Lane and Main Street (new this year)
- Gorrill Road and Mitchell Road (new this year)
