Same with using your imagination and engaging in any type of play that is unsupervised. Imagination is something you let the guys at video game software developers do - not your children. :) Seriously though, where is the safe routes to schools program? hmmm why do we need to make a safe route in the first place? It implies that danger is the norm that we consider acceptable everywhere else. What about safe routes to subway stations, safe routes to hospitals, safe routes to playgrounds, safe routes to grocery stores.... Aaron, don’t you know that playing in the street is WRONG!

State Senator Carl Kruger came up with the same solution for southern Flatbush Ave. around Kings Highway. Too many cars, big problem, lets bring on more cars.
