Editorial: Walking to school should not be deadly

LA Times  

A 35-year-old woman was killed and her 6-year-old daughter critically injured Tuesday in a crash at Colgate Avenue and Ogden Drive in Los Angeles, near Hancock Park Elementary School. On Tuesday morning, what should have been a perfectly routine, pleasant stroll by mother and child to Hancock Park Elementary School became a tragedy for the entire community. In fact, Hancock Park Elementary School has been slated for a crosswalk safety project at the crash site for more than a year. Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky, who represents the Hancock Park area, said that she regularly sees drivers speeding and running red lights when she walks her child to school.
