County OKs abandonment of part of Old West 7th St
Frederick County commissioners approve closing the Old West 7th Street intersection at Clover Hill to create a dead end for three residences and a new Stone Ridge Drive link, while residents demand another exit for Clover Hill III and fear delays to emergency services. The plan aims to eliminate a sub standard crossroad and handle rising traffic from Clover Hill II and III developments.
