    Hi, I usually go across this street everyday with my 7 year old son. And I really think that the city of escondido should consider putting a stop light on that intersection. Because it could happen to me or other people crossing that street next. Since is a high trafic area because is a school zone. Please consider other from what just happened right now. Thank you. Marcos
