Moving Wisconsin Dells School Impact Safety Near Bridge

Will the idea of moving the school have an impact on safety concerns near the Wisconsin Dells Bridge?   From a community health stand point the Wisconsin Dells bridge area could benefit from some interventions.  Consider the following safety concerns:

- Motorists driving in to the Down Town Wisconsin Dells while on the bridge express difficulty seeing the pedestrians peeking out with attempts to cross the four lanes of traffic from the parking lot

- The bike lane stops abruptly on the bridge causing bicyclists and motorists to be flung together with no time to react

- There is side walk space on the out going half of the bridge only

- Lack of lighting reduces night visibility

- Large employers hosting work visas will have individuals at varied levels when it comes to understanding road signs and safety recommendations

Do we as a community feel like more students could begin to travel the bridge if we decide to move the school?
