"Fayetteville Bypass": What a Great Name for this Project

tortugaocho's picture

Listening to the County Commission last night it sounds like this road project has a real objective: to BYPASS any public comment and environmental regulation. If it has been in the works for 20 years, how come nobody I talked to ever heard of that.

This "it has been in the planning for so long, how dare you question us" sounds a lot like the TDK developer road--- get it through, get it through, get it through !!!

All the developers are behind it (including Wieland) and judging from Chairman Smith's anger last night, the Chamber of Commerce is probably pushing him to get it done.

There is lot about this project that seems sloppy. How do I count the ways?

You Missed the Vote!

Did you miss the fact that the transportation SPLOST in 2004, voted on and approved by the public, authorized the Fayette Bypass? Leading up to the approval by the Commission to place the SPLOST on the ballot there were many public hearings where the proposed projects were discussed in detail. (We actually organized a group in the Tyrone area and got a road project we didn't want deleted from the SPLOST plan before the election.) So no wonder the Commisioners are getting a little tired of dealing with folks that just woke up and noticed! Everyone has had plenty of opportunity to make their voices heard on this; its time to move out on the projects as approved by the voters.

It does apear we have been served up on a silver platter to the developers. Not only that, we PAID for the platter!
