York Underpass

So the school district and the city have decided that an underpass below St. Charles Road at York High School wouldn't be a good idea. Nope, a way for pedestrians to avoid the traffic - not good.

Favorite line, from District 205 President Marta Davy: District 205 might have fully supported the concept "if we thought it was the magic bullet that would take care of every student ever crossing St. Charles Road."

So let's review:

• Alleviate some of the problem - not good.
• Leave the issue the way it is - good.
• Another student getting hit by a car crossing St. Charles Road - we're fine with that.
• Only option the board and village would consider - a "magic bullet" that would cure all the ills.

Yeah, like that exists.
