Yes! People walk and run through the entire area, including Euro Suites, neighbors, North Elementary school, businesses, health care folks and all the way up Van Voorhis from the developments on the other side including students and families who often walk on Van Voorhis because of the steep ditches on both sides.

Hi Damien, If we're having a meeting, I'd like an update on the hit-and-run reported in the May 23 Dominion Post in which a large blue or black truck ran a stop sign and hit a cyclist on Carnegie Street: http://ee.dominionpost.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=RFBvc3QvMjAxMy8wNS8yMyNBcj… "...the truck had damage around the front bumper and left front fender, was carrying a temporary West Virginia tag ending in the numbers 122."
