IT’S BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE CONCRETE BARRIER WAS INSTALLED ON HIGHWAY 17 AT LAUREL CURVE, AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE STOPPED THE DEADLY CROSSOVER COLLISIONS THAT HAD BEEN OCCURRING THERE. ALTHOUGH THAT’S A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT, SOME LOCALS STILL AREN’T HAPPY WITH HAVING THE TEMPORARY CONCRETE MEDIAN BARRIER THERE. THAT’S BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY FEEL ISOLATED BY THE BARRIER.
