Oak Circle Pathway Closure Near Lawrence Jones Middle School
Summary
The pedestrian path between Oak Circle and the middle school has become a de facto drive-through for parent pick-ups, causing double parking, blocked driveways, and safety worries — including concerns that fire engines couldn't get through. It will be torn out and fenced during summer break 2026, with new sidewalks on Snyder and Keiser providing the safe route.
