One Patch reader says it's Dexter/Chelsea Road and Main Street; another says Shield/Baker Road. What do you think?

Should Village of Dexter officials consider placing a stop light at Dexter/Chelsea Road and Main Street?

“I am really surprised there hasn’t been a terrible tragedy here,” Cramer said, noting that she goes out of her way to avoid the intersection.

“Most of the residents with dirt roads want them kept that way,” Julie Wilkinson responded. “It helps to keep the number of speeding cars down.”
