RE:Adult's bad decisions can kill kids
Truly anyone of us, driving sober, could have hit the child. Crossing six lanes of traffic in a 60k zone, outside of a controlled walk, in the dark, after 10 p.m. at night, and knowingly taking your child, which can't even been seen over almost 70% of the vehicles on the road these days, come on! This mother knowingly put her child in horrific conditions and the child paid with his life.
That pedestrian overpass should have been installed across from the mall, why someone hadn't figured that one out is beyond me. Yes, Parkinson Recreation Centre is busy, but it is close to a controlled signal.
The other side of the overpass walk leads to what-lawyers office and other businesses which have people who are doing business not leisure activities. Leisure activities such as mall shopping and dining at restaurants are done by a huge amount of tourists, that don't know the city and are bound to be looking for a quick end to their means, (shortcuts), and truly it would have been an enormously better decision to put the overpass there.
