If memory serves they're extending the northbound right turn lane on Jeff Davis (going north on 85) so they can separate that traffic from the folks goign straight onto 314 AND they're adding a second southbound lane on 314 to go straight onto Jeff Davis.

There will be crosswalks for pedestrians because DOT insists on them despite the lack of any pedestrian traffic in the area. That is, not counting the folks holding and shaking signs at oncoming traffic for the latest BIG SALE or seasonal store. UGH!!!

If I were on council that would be one of the first things I'd work to stop, these so-called "living signs".

What's wrong with encouraging people to walk rather than drive?

It could be that there are no pedestrians in that area because there are no crosswalks and a person would be crazy to try to cross the street. On the other hand, I can't see anyone walking from Crystal to Waffle House, can you?

Perhaps to walk off the calories?

So, is that to say you got your truck repaired?

Anything exciting over the weekend? Our new visitor bpr didn't insult any more of my virtual pals did she?

Have a fun-filled day at work! One of my bosses is out of the office today and was emailing things to do (covering) early this morning; so looks like it will be a good day here.

Scroll down, and you can see what happened Friday.
I had just logged on and saw bpr comments change to smile.

Do you think I didn't know you would do that. I told you I wanted to see how much time all of you spent doing this sort of thing. And I knew you all knew each other, so I wanted to give you something to talk about. There are alot of othere things to do in life.

Durn, you are just about too clever for us - "I knew you would do that". You are really clever to catch us, we who know each other . . .I wouldn't know ANY of these folks if they walked up to me this minute. Most of us are online acquaintances. In other words, that is to say several folks from various walks of life think you are full of baloney, so what does that say . . .

Maybe BPR can initiate it my telling us how rotten those people in PTC are and how her school is more deserving than McIntosh. Evil

I don't think anyone owes me an apology for anything, do they? Of course, I haven't been out to look at my truck lately. Is there something I missed?

The wheels on my truck go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on my truck go round and round, all through the town.

One day I'll ditch the truck and ride in!!!!

Glad to know you are rolling again. I don't know what sort of commute you have, you could actually "ride in"?

One of the few things I dislike about my job is the drive downtown every day! Been doing it for many years, and I still dread it, don't know that I'll ever like it. Know anyone south of I-285 that needs a top-notch assistant!!? Ya know Git just ain't paying me enough.

My commute is to the Atlanta Aerodrome (ATL). I did the bicycle thing for awhile until I gave birth to my son colon. Things are a little complicated with the new runway as some minor roads were changed or eliminated. But I have a few options that I'm exploring.

Git was very quite this weekend so who knows how the week may be.

i completely agree, these people holding signs are a trashy addition to Fayetteville. I remember when the hifi buys was closing down, it looked like they bused in homeless people to hold them. JEEZ! I foolishly hoped that that would be enough for the council to do something about it, but apparently, its ok to have bums holding signs in our "could be great if the council really cared" city.

The DOT installing sidewalks there is ridiculous. As I understand it, they use general mathematical formulas and blanket polices to design our road system, WHAT A WASTE! It would be a positive change if each county had an official that was relied upon by the DOT for input for their projects.

I think he is asking about the orange barrels and mess in front of IHOP. It looks like they are putting in a sidewalk, but that is just a guess. It might be a second turn lane, although it doesn't seem wide enough or long enough for that.
