I just went back to the street view of Jessica's address and noticed something I don't think has been posted. (It may have as I have not read every post.)
There are no sidewalks on Jessica's side of the street according to google maps of the address ending in 786. It appears sidewalks are only on one side of the street in this area which means Jessica would have to cross the street to make her way to the park.
10786 MOORE ST, Westminster, CO - Google Maps
On an OT note, ugh, it appears that parking is on both sides of the street. Oh how I wish parking was only on one side of the street, the side opposite of the sidwalk. Then there would be no obstruction to the view of pedestrians walking on the sidewalk.
I don't mean to imply that it's not a great area by the above comment. It's just something that would make me as a parent panic So many SUV's today parking alongside the sidwalk so many people would not be seen, not just kids.
