I would offer to Kristy that we need to show her exactly how far a rock cut normally is from the actual road. She was mainly concerned that an adult may not be able to keep track of more than one or two kids and is probably envisioning I-10 or some other such large highway.

Without having watched the hearing (heard the hearing?), it sounds like, from the comments posted here, that the legislators are indeed thinking people are just strolling down the shoulders of I-10 (pedestrians on the interstate are already illegal, right?). Someone needs to go out to Val Verde County and get some footage of the cuts ASAP, and maybe find an early-emerging alterna for added benefit.
