Bus service for hazardous area
We strongly stand by the fact that the “walking” area east of O'Connor is a hazardous area for any children to walk or ride their bikes on, therefore bus service for all students of Cedar Valley MS who reside in this are should be extended to households with children who reside here.
With the current chaotic and heavy traffic in our area, crossing O'Conor has become a danger for any pedestrian or cyclist that needs to take that route.

Why is this important?
As a concerned parent of a student of Cedar Valley Middle school, I know that the rapid growth of our area has created many changes and hazards, one of them being the heavy increase in traffic and therefore deeming the "walk zone" for the school not being something that should be decided only based on geographical distance but also the safety of having to walk or ride a bicycle to school everyday.
For this reason, in May 2015 I presented this request to the RRISD board. So far there has been no change on the bus service to our area or a formal response from any responsible authority. I hope that if we can get most parents who believe that we should have bus service in our area to sign this petition, we then will have a stronger case and voice to make a change happen.
