Residents have seven months to convince Orange County that a footbridge is needed by the new Newport Coast Elementary School to ensure safe passage for children.

The school will sit on the corner of Newport Coast Drive, a six-lane road with a speed limit of 60 mph, and Park Ridge Road, a steep incline that does not yet have a speed limit.

The school is scheduled to open this fall with 350 students, most of whom live within a two-mile radius, said Dana Schonwit, the executive vice president on the PTA board.
