But that area in Coweta will be developed, thankfully later, due to Coweta's WILD zoning counting on mainly TDK for access. They blew it, that for sure and I'm thankful they did.

My main question remains, what do we have planned to upgrade Hwy 54 and Rockaway?

Cyndi Plunkett said Rockaway was coming on the heels of the Highway 74 stuff going on now. Wouldn't the developers of those new projects have to straighten the road since they are on both sides of it?

I truly believe holding TDK off will lessen the development on the Coweta side. Look at how Lowe's backed out at TDK because the road was halted.

You have to admit, there's not a whole lot going on over on the Coweta side right now. You've got to know Mitch Seabaugh is going to do whatever he can to get the road built and Matt Ramsey is Seabaugh's boy.

I just wonder if I'm the only one who thinks Rockaway and Hwy 54 need to be upgraded if these are to be the only two "choke points" going to/fro from Coweta to Fayette.

I did agree with holding off on TDK, when Coweta announced their plans. I don't know anyone who didn't.

Rockaway has to straightened because people are going to die over there.

I would say don't even lift a finger for TDK until you see what they're up to on the other side. The Coweta commissioners are nuts to have approved that big deal on Fisher Road. They are creating their own bottlenecks.

Except it will cost the taxpayers, not the Airport "Authority" twice as much as did the Tennis Center!

These Authorities are toys for the lawyers and the developers.
A way to raise taxes without raising taxes! Same as Bush borrows from China, which we owe, but doesn't "raise taxes."
Con men galore!
What did the airport authority spend the two million on, by the way?
Same thing as the Tennis Center, maybe?

Who are the members and the lawyers now on all of our "authorities?"
And, if they are set up so as to pay for themselves and not hold the city responsible, why does the city always have to pick up the bill for their failures?
I think maybe some are "planned" failures!

Here's an interesting hypothesis: Dollar has twelve aliases rather than just four. He demonstrates his subtlety on the other eight, so that it is not obvious to the rest of us. (Who would have guessed that Git, Jeffc, bpr and the now defunct basmati are all the same person} Of course, with the current four--dollar, nitpickers, smith and bonkers--it is more than obvious.

I am not Dollar- I don't even know who you are talking about? What would make you think I am Dollar? Strange- I'm just bpr. Take another shot at someone else that could be.

Still friends.

Surely you've noticed posts by dollaradayandfound????

He's our resident "nut" who posts, to put is politely, random thoughts multiple times a day. Lately he's been posting under the names d.smith700, Bonkers, nitpickers, and maybe some others. He loves to answer his own posts and usually uses one of his aliases to add comments. Look up these names under the section RECENT BLOG POSTS to see what this grumpy old man grumbles about daily!

I don't even agree with most of what these other posters you mention say!
I have always considered you and hutch and Cyclist and mud as one and the same.
One only needs to read one of those names to have the whole story.
Also, I am not a grumpy old man. Just because you are a post 50 (I think)set-in-her ways type, doesn't mean everyone else is, who disagree with your splashing of a thousand internuts opinions around on here!
My thoughts may be random, but they are not internet ramblings and impossible to decipher.
Some of us simply can communicate and are open-minded. Others will go to any extreme to complicate the subjects at hand.

You stop it dollar, you're the one posting under multiple names, we even caught you out once when you forgot what name you logged in under. You can communicate, unfortunately you only communicate with yourself and you'd have to lighten up 200% just to be a grumpy old man.
love, your son, half dollar

I yam what I yam....Popeye

A joke. Names randomly chosen. The idea: maybe Dollar is behind even more than the four names suspected, including.....

How many lanes can we add to Hwy 54 West and how quick? IF we aren't building TDK, I recommend at least 4 in each direction over the new bridge. How about widening Rockaway? If we don't do this, we will have gridlock sooner than later. I'm all for listening to options, but I do not think doing nothing is the right answer for access over Line Creek.

I fully realize some think TDK is enabling Coweta, and developers, but I'm thinking of PTC Residents and how to get some relief from the traffic/gridlock that is sure to come if we sit and twiddle our thumbs.

Your assertion is false. If TDK gets built or not (and it's not), the money isn't going to have to be paid back. If you don't believe me, call someone on the airport authority and ask them.

City Council of Peachtree City, Minutes of Meeting, June 15, 2006

“Cobb showed a map of the proposed TDK extension realignment. He said the PCAA had contributed $10,000 to the City in 2004 for engineering to get the project moving. Since then the PCAA had spent another $20,000 in fees and appraisal costs and planned to spend another $50,000 in non reimbursable funds. He said the airport had obtained approval for a $2 million grant to re-route the road and relocate two holes on Planterra Golf Course to preserve safe airport operations. The only way to get the money was to move the holes out of the runway safety area. In close coordination with the City a Memorandum of Understanding MOD was developed and presented to all parties on May 6 2006. The parties involved included the City Pathway Communities Sequoia Golf Fayette County and the FAA. The grant would be lost if the MOU was not executed by July 31 2006. If that grant fell through there were no assurances that the City would get the funding back.”

Further along in the document:

“Kourajian asked if airport property abutted the Planterra Golf Course. Cobb said yes. Kourajian asked if there had to be an agreement with Sequoia Golf to get the road. Cobb said the $2 million was available “only if” the runway safety area was clear. Cobb said the airport could only buy the land where the two holes were currently located. Sequoia would have to buy the land to move the holes to.”

And then later on in the document:

“Cobb said that was the purpose in getting the grant funds. He reiterated that the funds were only available if the road was moved out of the runway safety area.”

TTT, are you saying Cobb not being totally honest with us?

Nothing above states the PCAA (or the city) would have to give the money back if the road wasn't built.

"Cobb said the $2 million was available “only if” the runway safety area was clear." The area is now clear, so why would the FAA care if the road was built?

If the road doesn't get built, the Airport Authority looses the land.

A member of the PCAA doesn't either. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Time will tell who is correct. Nothing in the minutes you have posted supports your theory.

Right now TDK is dead. Matt Ramsey, or any of the candidates for that matter, can force PTC to build TDK. I hope the many folks who read these blogs can see through the campign rhetoric. Have a good evening, bad_ptc.

I take it you meant to say "can't" force PTC to build TDK.

Have a good evening yourself.

Call the FAA and learn the truth.
