Summary
Board member Steve Hedrick raised a sobering point: a child was killed crossing Shortcut Road near the high school two years ago, and Shortcut Farms' kids would face the same road to reach the elementary school. He urged the county to start planning a safe crossing — a light, crosswalk, or footbridge.
