A committee

of Senoia's leaders will help determine what the city's bridge on Rockaway

Road will be named.

During Wednesday's

city retreat, Mayor Joan Trammell suggested that a committee composed

of City Council members, along with residents and business leaders, come

up with a name for the bridge.

Trammell has

received several letters about possible suggestions for the name, but

said she did not want to see it turn into a popularity contest.

"I'd rather

see it honored for somebody who made a lasting impression on the city,"

she said.

Trammell suggested

people like Billy Roesel, who was mayor several times, or Eddie Couch,

who was the city's only resident killed during the Vietnam War.

The Mayor said

the committee would probably only need to have a couple of meetings before

they could make a recommendation to the City Council.

Trammell added

that a plaque would be placed on the bridge listing the Mayor and Council

who worked on getting the bridge built and said she favored a dedication

ceremony sometime in the early fall.

In a related

development, Trammell said she's hopeful that the new historic lights

will be in place by the time of the dedication.

Last year,

the city placed the historic lights on Main Street. Now, Trammell wants

the lights placed from Main Street all the way to the bridge.

The cost of

each light is $1,800 and residents who purchase a light will have a plaque

placed at the base.

"It's

just like a time capsule," she said.

The Mayor said

she had also approached many of the developers currently building projects

in the city to see if they wanted to donate a light.
