Wall ready These steel beams show where a lengthy sound wall will be erected to act as a buffer between Ga. Highway 74 and the Clover Reach subdivision. The sound wall is part of the project to expand the highway from two to four lanes from Ga. Highway 54 to Cooper Circle. Photo/John Munford.

How utterly attractive.
Much better than those old trees used to be.

I agree, trees would be better. That being said, were you against the widening of 74 in this area? It's been on the books forever, it's crucial to the further development of the Industrial side of PTC. I do think they are planning on planting trees between the wall and the road, so time will tell.

It will be quieter in those neighborhoods after the wall is up. I lived in Morrow when they built I-75, and the sound walls added later made the neighborhoods much quieter. I can hear 74 from my neighborhood now (Spyglass) and I think it will be quieter.

Oh no, I am a supporter of the widening. I wish it could have happened sooner. And I'm sure the wall is the best solution but it does sadden me when the trees disappear. I hope they do plant more trees along the wall.

Are you a fan, or graduate of GT?

I agree with you, the wall is so very nice. Isn't is so sad every time one drives down the road, more trees have been leveled and something is being built . . .so sad

No I'm not a graduate of tech and only a casual fan. The nickname is a play on the Nautical flag Yellow Jack. It is used to warn other ships away because of disease onboard. Don't know what that says about me and my personality (I don't even own a boat), go figure.

You do take your meds... like everyday? That's what your name says about you. I figure.
