Ah, but you are wrong! Don't stop everything, just that stupid road we get no use out of into Coweta. Making developers richer just ruins our way of life. Let them build in Union City, or Fairburn (oops, the stink) or Ellenwood, or Newnan.

refreshing to see a post from someone with common sense. Apparently it has not occurred to most of these PTC bloggers that if Coweta approves the development(sooner or later they will) the cars will be there and if there is no TDK extension, the traffic will flow onto GA 34/54 and into Fayette, but twice as heavily without the TDK extension.

Going ahead and planning to four lane immediately it the best short term option. Planning to create another artery to I 85, for example, Doc Fisher Rd, should go onto the drawing boards quickly. North Coweta is ripe for development, it's going to happen.

Okay go ahead a four lane TDK. Then where does the traffic go after it's been efficiently moved out of Coweta and dumped in to Fayette?

What difference does it make if the traffic comes from 54 east to 74 north or from TDK to north 74? It’s still going to 74 north and back.

I would rather have the traffic backed up on the Coweta side.

As for your suggestion to build another north/south connecting road to the interstate; who’s going to pay for it?

Even if there was money, do you know how long it would take to build it? Try something like over 10 to 15 years.

Anybody in favor of mass transit for Fayette/Coweta?

Your argument NOT to build a road in Coweta county to the interstate in order not to have to extend TDK, flies in the face of the rest of your argument, doesn't it? As to who pays for it--you know the answer for that--us, not developers.

I’m not saying not to build it. I’m saying by the time it is built it will be worthless. It would take about 10 to 15 years for it to get built.

As for paying for it, there is simply no money. The Fed doesn’t have it, the state doesn’t have it and the county couldn’t afford it.

Let the people using it pay for it. It's an easy way to make money.

Heck, we’re part of Atlanta so let’s just do TDK

This is the argument being advanced by many. Fayette County is part of Metro Atlanta. Metropolitan areas in America experience unbridled and uncontrolled growth. Fayette should accept unbridled and controlled growth. There is nothing we can do about it.

Doesn’t the PLAN part of Planned Community mean anything ?

Mayor Logsdon’s notion of leadership is to unceremoniously drop his trousers. Far from what I had in mind for a
Planned Community !

Just one question---- if we as the taxpaying citizens of Fayette County have to watch our planning get blown away by the Butt Hunter- Seabald- Wastemoron - Doug Worthless- Pace crowd in Coweta do we have to let them shoot us with our own gun ?

As the state of Georgia is around 10 BILLION dollars short for needed road improvements there isn’t much that can be said for what can be done to abate the inescapable grid-lock that Fayette County is about to get.

Now that Coweta County has approved large scale commercial development along Hwy. 34 and Fisher road, (BIG BOX), and the new development on the west side of TDK, you may as well start to plan a park where Braelinn shopping center is. If you didn’t think it was dying before, it’s DEAD now.

For those of you that didn’t want GRTA here last month, you had better start praying that GRTA is all you get. I can see roadside bus service coming to a street near you very soon.

Something else for you to chew on is that crime is basically proportional to population.

We’re about to see the “local” population double.

I tried to tell everyone before the election that ol Harold was on the TAKE! But no one listened and even less showed up to VOTE! And as far as the Council is concerned, they all must be ASLEEP! Thats the only excuse that I can come up with to SELL OUT YOUR NEIGHBORS.
The only way out of this mess is for everyone that is upset, is get off you BUTTS AND VOTE!!!!

Sounds good: The Steve Brown Dead-end Street! Just South of Lenox Jungle at 54-74. (you know the big wide intersection, providing collision work for many cops). How about Developers Dead End?

ood idea, but that train left the station last week. Council had the ability to kill the TDK extension and they sat on their hands. It is going to happen and there s nothing we can do about it now.

You are precisely correct: let the developer build another road to I-85 through Coweta county. Once that ias done, then a two lane could be opened up into Coweta, with speed bumps , but only then. But we are stupid for thinking this way, it has been planned the other way for years!

Building John Weiland home off of hwy 92s going toward Griffin. Going to put a hundred homes there. Used to be good hunting land there. Now clear cutting it. PTC isn't the only place being affected

Just what was needed. Do these developers not realize that homes are not selling right now????? Gotta love the hunting land. Where are all the deer going to go????

They run into the road and are killed, thousands every year. Want to start a deer farm like they have in south Georgia for Quails? Rich people can go there (like our VP) but you and I can forget deer hunting, as we have quail hunting. Development rules. as they now say.
