by its cover. they would rather look at lawn clippings and grass height than reports. >> reporter: the academy is promising a long list of transportation upgrades. >> they hired a transportation consultant, somebody that specializes in traffic transportation, and as a result put together, i think, a combination of improvements and conditions that will minimize any impacts on the road. >> reporter: the supervisor has not made up his mind yet. >> i think there are significant transportation issues, and if we can get those addresses we will go from there. >> there will be a hearing tomorrow before the fairfax county board of servisors on the issues. and victims are taking action now, legal action now. after the first personal injury lawsuits was filed two days after the accident that killed
