That intersection has always been a dangerous one, even when I was going to school there. Hopefully more street lights or even a reduction in the amount of car traving down that busy street can be done. I read that they are adding other street lights in section where student cross, which is about time... I can;t believe most of area where students cross do not have lights or even crosswalks, given the location of student and the school.
