Where are the crossing guards?

Has the city budget been so affected by the latest snow “storm” as to no longer have money to post crossing guards in even the most dangerous crossings? In between E College ave and Wright St, on N East Ave I’ve come across children ambling thru traffic, without a care. To and fro, back and forth. 50’ to the south is a traffic light, so the children can cross safely there. 20’ to the North is a “pedestrian crossing” sign. But for some reason the kids just walk into the street without concern for traffic or safety. Where are the crossing guards? Where are the police? Where’s the Mayor? What…..what…..WHAT!!!! Those are COLLEGE STUDENTS?!?!? CARROLL COLLEGE STUDENTS!?!?! Geez, the common sense courses must be “off campus”.
