• Road linking Mountain Brook and Irondale to stay open with new security measures (al.com) — Mountain Brook leaders have decided to keep Round Forest Drive open between Mountain Brook and Irondale, while adding safety steps like a possible three-way stop, speed studies, and more police patrols. After resident complaints about crime, speeding, and trespassing, a $9,000 traffic study found no volume or speed problem but recommended security-focused measures instead of closing the road.
