YORBA LINDA : Extra Guard Assigned to Busy Crossing
An additional crossing guard will be assigned to an intersection used by students at Bernardo Yorba Middle School and Fairmont Elementary School, the City Council decided this week.
Currently, the city has one crossing guard to help students cross Fairmont Boulevard and Old Ranch Road.
A recent study of pedestrian traffic in the area showed that more than 450 students cross one or both of those streets in the morning and afternoon.
Parents of students at both schools have frequently requested that another crossing guard be assigned to the area.
