There are 3 areas off of college that the students come from. You would need to put a bridge over college by all 3 of these places (Randall and College) (another bridge by Wachovia and the BP) and (another bridge by Taco Bell for the students that park in that lot). For instance, if the bridge is at Randall and College and the students park behind Taco Bell, do you think that they will walk all the way down towards Randall just so that they can use a bridge over College. No they are going to take the shortest route to get to campus(who can blame them). Why not enforce them crossing College Road at the lights rather than anywhere along College Road. And if you got them to get off their phones and stop texting maybe it wouldn't be such a big problem. Students need to be held accountable for themselves, they know they are taking a risk by not crossing at the crosswalk at the lights. (It is also considered jaywalking, so maybe we could enforce that rule and it would make them cross where they are supposed to.)
