Reedy Creek Elementary

Reedy Creek Elementary is a new school completed in 1999 on Reedy Creek Road. Reedy Creek Road has no sidewalks (except along the frontage of the school property) and virtually no shoulder for walking. Limited sight distances at curves make it difficult to determine when it is safe to cross. The school is also separated from the street and surrounding neighborhood by a 0.4 mile long driveway, making it even less convenient to walk to.

The sidewalk ends at the end of the school property, where the road narrows and becomes treacherous for walking, especially in low-visibility conditions. Cut-through traffic often travels along this winding road at speeds over 50 mph.
