That is a route that I take to work either by bicycle or automobile. It is a very busy intersection especially during business rush hours and I'm sure it will be for school hours as well. Right across the street is Badger Bowl. Rimrock is a four lane road, at least, and so it becomes an issue of crossing in time during the pedestrian light. If possible, I would recommend putting a school crossing at least a half block south of Badger Rd. That way pedestrians aren't having to watch out for turning turning traffic at the intersection of Badger and Rimrock. The intersection an access point for the Beltline and Badger Road/Industrial Drive is used an alternate route during Beltline rush hour backups.

Because they can't move into their permanent building until January, many/most kids will have to cross Rimrock Rd to get from neighborhood to school. Middle schools do not currently get crossing guards, so the discussion may be interesting in that respect: Are middle school kids old enough to cross even busy roads without crossing guards? Informational presentation on new bike corral(s) Informational presentation on proposed bike station in Gov East/MMB development. Assume it will also be about the study on the whole development. Quarterly traffic enforcement report. Full agenda can be found on the city's web site by checking the Weekly Meetings link. PBMVC meets at 5 PM in Room 260 of the MMB.
