Wow, look at the poll. Group VI's Jim Pace has motivated 24 of his employees to get active on the Internet.

The city is telling you they don't like the change. Hello PTC: Do you want more crime? The crime rate will grow even bigger than it is now. We have enough; let's keep it that way.

I have no affiliation with Group VI; however, I welcome the extension of TDK. I like the idea of a variety of restaurants and newer and more modern shopping areas. I also like the concept of a pedestrian friendly shopping district and have seen these designs in several other areas of the country. Let's face it, it will have to look better than the recently built concrete jungle adjacent to Kedron Kroger. Target and the rest of the stores look like they were designed after a parking lot. My only concern is that Peachtree City People tend to like bigger, better, newer and the finer things in life. The last thing Coweta needs is for some of the spoiled "I have an excuse for everything" citizens to migrate west and bring Coweta as they done to Peachtree City. Come to think of it, this could be the greatest thing that has ever happened to PTC. Go West and take your snotty, better than you, attitudes with you. Just food for thought.

I will correct myself before being corrected by the masses.
......bring Coweta down as they have brought Peachtree City down.

Thank you for not bringing this to my attention. LOL.

We are going to look back at the year 2006 as the point in time when things took a terrible turn for the worse. The proposed projects, as they currently stand, in Peachtree City and Coweta County will drag our service levels down to where we begin to resemble Gwinnett County.

to come close to the population of Gwinnett. We're not close. We won't be close with the combined populatons of Fayette & Coweta in 10 years.

The sky is not falling. But the Southwest corridor of Metro Atlanta has been discovered, you can be assured of that.

McDonoughDawg, you miss my point. We will reach the same conditions as Gwinnett, not the same population.

That was a scaled argument. Gwinnett has couple of interstate highways, loads of state highways and a significant network of local roads, yet they can't handle the additional cars. Peachtree City has no interstate and only two state highways and very few east-west, north-south roads. So, in effect, our traffic will bog just as bad on scale.

Look at what happened in Henry County. The Eagles Landing area was really bad. They don't have Gwinnett's population either, but they've got serious problems.

We are not close to Henry, not close to what Henry was 10 years ago. The BOC of Fayette County has done a superior job to what they had done in Henry.

I'm glad Fayette has no interstates to deal with. I actually think it helps. After living 1 mile from I-75 @ Jodeco Road, you didn't want to be in the area when I-75 got into a bad accident situation. Total gridlock.

And believe it or not, Fayette has superior 4 lanes to Henry, even now. The traffic isn't comparable. It's MUCH better here. Can it be better, sure.

I'm on record saying the proposed Coweta development needs it's own access to 85...also saying the proposals from Wieland in the West Village is TOO dense.
