Verndale City Clerk Melissa Current and engineer Cliff Allen with Moore Engineering both noted that discussions about the need for Safe Routes to Schools have focused heavily on the risk for those attempting to cross Hwy 10 in Verndale from the north side of town to the school, on the south side of the highway.
