Much of Tuesday’s Lowell City Council meeting was devoted to the need for sidewalks on Campbell Drive, a 1960s-era residential street in the Highlands that’s home to the Bailey Elementary School. The school, which was constructed in the 1990s, is set back from the road and connected to Campbell Drive by a narrow driveway squeezed between two houses, so parents and caregivers picking up students must park on Campbell Drive awaiting dismissal. They park on both sides of the road and on neighboring streets. Without sidewalks, children walking from the school to their rides, or the few who walk all the way home, must walk in the street which creates a dangerous situation.
