Residents beg for guardrails and road repairs to prevent impending accidents.

Residents in Palm Beach County are raising concerns about the safety hazards on a 99-year-old dirt road named Springfield Street. The road, located near Greenacres off South Military Trail, is facing issues like a steep ravine, washed-out sections, and the absence of guardrails. These problems pose risks for both drivers and emergency responders, making it unsafe to navigate at night. This has led to residents like Alexa Bard feeling uneasy about leaving their homes, given the potential dangers present. After multiple complaints to local officials, efforts are being made to address these concerns. State Representative Debra Tendrich and Palm Beach County Engineering are exploring solutions, including possible meetings with Commissioner Joel Flores to discuss residents' worries. The focus is on filling potholes and adding guardrails to ensure the safety of all those using Springfield Street. Stay tuned for updates on any actions or improvements made by the county.
