[Vision2020] Safety Concerns

[Saundra Lund]

Have you never heard of attractive nuisances, Donovan?

I have no idea of the statistics, but each year children are killed and
injured at construction sites.  IMHO, one *preventable* death or serious
injury to a child from an attractive nuisance is one too many.

Too bad those responsible for attractive nuisances don't have the good sense
the Lord gave them -- if they did, the *rest* of the caring community
wouldn't have to worry about it and risk the wrath of those in the community
who just don't care.

Ironic isn't it? We have vehicles traveling at about 2 to 3 times the speed
necessary to squash and kill a child, and statistically motor vehicles do
injury and kill far more children every year, and yet our concern is instead
some inanimate objects three feet to the side of the real threat. How biased
we are in our way of life and thinking. It is seems people always think it
is the OTHER GUY that is causing the risks and problems, not them. 

Best,

View that the City, or someone else, has put up a temporary orange fence
around the project pictured, apparently in response to concerns for safety.
