I anticipate a lot more parents driving their kids the 4 or 5 blocks to school. Which sucks.

You should suggest a pedestrian overpass to your Councillor. If you bring it up early enough, you might get it. Maybe talk to some neighbours and try to drum up support. This is the kind of thing we should be spending money on, unlike other things.
