You are really asking for it. The Brown clown is sitting there right now spending hours researching everything he ever said before during and after his campaign so he (or sandy sue or spear guy) can publish the longest blog ever seen.

Actually, birdman may want to wade into this one because he has proof that brownclown spoke in favor of TDK extension. But who really cares about brown?

The current mayor will be ready to exert his leadership - possibly this evening. I sure hope so. Get it done Harold. Tell GRTA 2 lanes or no lanes on TDK. Show us your leadership.

And yes indeed mcdawg, it easy to sit back and throw stones as the brown clown is now doing. Ignore him and his supporters - both of them.

Someone just threw some fresh garbage in the alley up in jersey......shooo, shoo. You would really like it up there.

It's not that hard to figure out.

Goodness McDonoughDawg, neither of us followed Steve Brown around the campaign trail and listened to every word he and the other candidates had to say. Harold Logsdon, Dan Tennant and Phil Boswell are the only ones that come up on a search for TDK as a campaign issue - all in favor.

You know, you can go over to fayettespeaks.com and find a lot of information. Here are some examples:

On TDK as traffic relief: "Brown called such thinking 'the relief valve myth.'” (The Citizen, Nov 5, 2004)

"The creation of the TDK extension is purely for developmental purposes, not traffic relief. The URS engineer told me personally that the extension would only provide relief for two years at best." (S. Brown letter to Editor Mar 17, 2004)

"Mayor Steve Brown has vehemently opposed the city spending more money on the redesign of the road for several reasons, including his opposition to the benefit of the road. He contends the road’s projected traffic load will come from development that will occur on the Coweta side, leaving little traffic relief benefit for the city’s industrial park, which TDK proponents say will be significant."
(The Citizen Dec. 10, 2004)

I don't know, what do you think McDonoughDawg? It sounds exactly like what we have now.

Vote Republican

It doesn't appear he used it in his campaign at all. I'm not sure why not, if he was so against it.

I'm still not sure we need to become an island. I'm definitely against the road being 4 laned, not even sure it should be built at all, just tell the GRTA to stuff it. I seriously don't understand GRTA being worried about this road and not being concerned with 74/I-85.

Let's face it, Brown is no longer Mayor, and I don't see why continually bringing up how he supposedly felt does any of us any good in this situation.

Why don't you just admit that you absolutely hate Steve Brown. You rag on him all the time but you rarely have a good response to anything he says.

McDawg you know good and well that Steve was always speaking up on TDK and 74-I85. Everyone in the developer crowd said he was wrong. He took a beating on our behalf and he was right.

Yes, I agree with you, and you should give it a break.

I didn't start this blog. I didn't bring up Brown first here. I've never even said we didn't need TDK as a 2 lane. I think reasonable people can disagree and move on. I'm just not sure why certain folks continually bring him up (unless they are him) on these here blogs.

I'm still not sure we can rely on the 54/74 interchange alone to get access across Line Creek. You may feel differently, I understand that.

McDawg,

Your remark was straight from the first grade class at Kedron Elementary. “Mommy, Johnny said it first!” I’ve been giving you way too much credit.

At least Spear Road Guy had the you know what’s to admit he screwed up. You ought to pair up with Mudcat, I see a lot of compatibility there.

OF traffic?

As you can see, I tried to move on, and here we go again. Funny how Spear Road Brown can continually bring up things but others can't have serious debate on the issue. I guess I didn't get the memo on this one.

Spear did answer your first remarks. If you will look, you responded to his reply.

TDK stinks. It's a really bad idea. If anything, that one issue has done a lot to wake the citizens up and get them talking again. Most of us moved here for the Peachtree City image and TDK-traffic and big boxes weren't part of that image.

IF done right, they can be of some good. Folks that live in PTC can and will shop here. That's a good thing to me. See Walmart/Homedepot/Target for examples. I do think we could have TOO many very easily though. I have to think K-Mart is on it's last legs, but I've thought that since I moved here in 04.

I've yet to see any problems traffic wise etc from the expansion of the Kedron center where Target built.

I'm very much against a Kohls and a Lowes right across from Walmart/HomeDepot. We have one chance to develop that property with something nice, and Kohls isn't anywhere my definition of nice.

As far as the Brown "answer". I went to enough campaign functions to know that Brown did not mention the negative aspects of TDK during the campaign.

... would they put him in the front and his wife in the back?

Can't we all just get along??
