Can you only imagine what will happen in Peachtree City as Coweta's growth tornado comes down 34/54 toward Peachtree City?

They already have the longest commute times in the United States.

Why do you think we need TDK! To help take the pressure off of 34/54 and to help move that traffic through more efficiently. The developement is happening folks. We can't stop it, so we need to deal with it in a constructive manner. ignoring it, and hoping it will go away isn't the answer. Before all of you get started. no I am not a developer, I'm not related to a developer, I own a business in town and it is not in the industrial park. I am not a realtor either and I am not related to one. I have no adjenda here, just common sense. Our taffic woes will be bad enough with TDK, without it it will be a nighmare!
