Senoia's bridge
on Rockaway Road will finally get a name.
Since the bridge
came into service a few years ago, the City Council has been mulling over
what to call the bridge.
The bridge
links Senoia with access to Peachtree City and Interstate 85.
During Monday
night's workshop of the City Council, Mayor Joan Trammell said the time
had come for the city to decide on a name.
Some of the
suggestions submitted to the city have included the Lester Mann Bridge,
for the mayor who got the project going, or the Keith Brooking Bridge,
to honor Senoia's NFL star.
Trammell said
recent suggestions have included Billy Roesel, who served as mayor for
several terms and recently died, or Eddie Whitlock, who served in the
Vietnam War and was killed.
The council
established a committee Monday featuring Councilmen Darren Ratajski and
Dianne Cleveland, along with Downtown Development Authority member Tom
McKeehan and local bankers Tom Dunlap and Leigh Brown.
The committee
will meet and take suggestions from the community, but Trammell said the
council will vote on the committee's recommendation.
"I don't
think we should have an election on the name," she said.
Citizens are
welcome to submit names to City Hall and Trammell hopes the committee
can make a decision by this summer.
She would like
to have a dedication ceremony this fall and added that a plaque will be
placed on the bridge honoring the mayor and city council who helped see
the bridge project come to reality.
