Dear Editor:

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) seems to have decided to ignore the dangers associated with the intersection of State Route 124 (Braselton Highway) and Lena Carter Road. This intersection serves both Mountain View High School as well as Twin Rivers Middle School. High school students use this intersection every day to get to/from school as well as buses taking students to and from Twin Rivers Middle School.
