A proposal to change the name of south Fulton's Scarborough Road to honor Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton remains on Wednesday's County Commission meeting agenda, but Commissioner Bill Edwards said he has scrapped the idea. Residents were overwhelmingly opposed in two public hearings this month, saying it would cost them money to change their personal records and that Newton, 23, is too young to have a thoroughfare named for him.
Newton, who has family living on the road, is a Westlake High alumnus. Edwards said he might find another way to honor him.
