Why are sidewalks necessary when nobody walks on Aurora?
People do walk on Aurora. During the school year, many students cross Aurora to attend Shorewood High School which is located just a block away. Everyday, hundreds of people walk to bus stops on Aurora — over 4,000 bus riders per day on Shoreline’s three-mile stretch. Some of these riders are residents of Shoreline’s more than 80 group homes and assisted living facilities and will benefit substantially by having a safe route to bus stops and nearby businesses.
