Child Hit by Car

ISCA Board member Allegra Tasaki reported some sad news this weekend:  "On Tuesday, early evening, a young boy of 12 was hit by a car on Franklin near Seminole while walking home with friends. He was taken to Children's Hospital where he is currently in intensive care with skull fractures. The last update about his health was that due to reduced swelling, his prognosis is good."  This story underscores the need for serious action where pedestrian safety is concerned.  PREZCO, the council of community association presidents, under the leadership of Indian Spring resident Andrew Kleine, has been working on pedestrian safety recommendations as the County formulates a  pedestrian safety plan.  This is important and timely work given the recent spate of accidents.  Meanwhile, we hope everyone - especially kids - will take maximum care crossing streets, especially busy ones with blind spots like Franklin.
