Sidewalks Needed
The need for additional sidewalks, especially along those
roads leading to the school building, was grimly demonstrated
this week when a first grade student was struck by a jeep
while enroute to school.
Fortunately, the little girl was not seriously injured.
Unless children ride the shopper or are driven to school by
their parents they are daily exposed to such dangers simply
because there are no sidewalks.
The city council has proposed that a $480,000 bond issue
for a city-wide street improvement program be approved by
Kocbak voters on (October 14. Sidewalks would also be con
structed along some of the main roads.
Whether Kodiak voters and taxpayers wish to incur
bonded indebtress for streets is one matter but the need for
sidewalks is a problem that should be taken up immediately.
