Mountain View Corridor concerns

Hello! There is a group of parents who will be meeting with JSD (date and time not known yet) about Mountain View Corridor. They are looking for two pieces of information: parents who would like to be a part of the meeting; second, the number of kids who walk across it to and from school. If you would like to comment on here I will get the info to them.  Please see our facebook page and leave a comment there so we have one running list.  Copper Mountain Middle PTSA is our facebook page name.

Thank you!!
