As if I have time for it, I'm now in a fight with my city and school board regarding opening a back entrance for a newly built school. People park in front of my house everyday. Kids walk through my yard, I'm OK with that. I just close the blinds so the dogs don't go crazy and I go in the other room with Kendall twice a day for 1.5 hours.
But now they want to open the back entrance as another way to pick up the kids. Long story short, it is going to get worse.
I don't want to be "that" citizen. The one who makes a huge deal out of something. I hate confrontation. But I have to. See, my dad can't even get in our driveway when people are blocking it. The kids are crossing where there is no crosswalk. It is dangerous on all fronts. Not to mention... I shutter to think what would happen if we ever had a seizure we couldn't stop and I had to have an emergency vehicle pull up to my house.
So here I go. I'm Cooper (the little dog) trying to put up a good fight even though he's old and tired. And our mean city and school board are bullying me and throwing their weight around. I so want to throw in the towel, but I won't. Not without a good fight. Ho hum.

I 100% agree with you. Why they didn't put the entrance (s) and exit (s) to that school on Debbie Lane is beyond me...I'm sorry you have to deal with it. It's a mess. Good luck with it - I hope you're able to do something about it!
Also...I think sidewalks on your street would help tremendously. Liam says there are always people out in their yards yelling at them to get off the grass, but they can't walk in the street, so now they walk on the curb when the street is too busy...it's just nuts back there.
I promise I'm not the neighbor yelling! They did put a sidewalk on the opposite side of the street.
LOL! Well, I kinda figured you wouldn't be the one yelling...Hmmm - other side of the street...I need to check that out! I hope you get somewhere with this - really. I think it's crap that y'all should have to even worry about it. Good luck!
You have a legitimate MEDICAL reason for a person in your family. It seems like someone should take you seriously.
I wonder if a letter from the neurologist's office would help your case????
Best wishes!
Why would anyone even consider moving across the street from any school?
We were here before the school. But thanks for playing.
