Functional sidewalks on Marginal Road near Quincy Schools

Resident asks for functional sidewalks on both sides of Marginal Road next to the Josiah Quincy Schools to keep children safe walking to school.

English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Marginal Road is next to the Josiah Quincy Schools but lacks functional sidewalks on both sides of the street, endangering children. This street should prioritize pedestrians for their safety.

Who it helps and why

Children attending the Josiah Quincy Schools deserve to have a safe sidewalk on both sides of the street to get to and from school. I expect that this roadway has this dangerous design due to the legacy decision to cut through Chinatown with the Mass Pike.
