forward to the installment and completion of a new cross walk that will be built across 7th Street in order to facilitate a safer route for Hood Students to cross to the Safeway Shopping Center.
This new crosswalk was instigated by the support of the Student Government Association (SGA), who realized that Hood students needed a safer and more efficient way to cross the busy street.
The SGA passed a measure to petition the city Aldermen on November 6, 2012. This measure passed unanimously.
The construction of the crosswalk may take several weeks, but this process will begin directly over winter break for Hood students.
A lot of the work for the crosswalk will be completed by the Hood College Facilities Department.
The entire Hood Community seems excited by the upcoming installation of this crosswalk, that will present increased safety and efficiency when crossing the busy street.
“This crosswalk will help speed things up when crossing the street. Once, I waited to cross for almost a half hour,” junior Mercedes Barbosa said.
Similarly, junior Kate Kopasek said, “I’m glad about this change because it will allow crossing the busy street to become much safer and easier for everyone on campus.”
