Senoia may

soon be getting Peachtree City's help in its fight to get a traffic signal

at the intersection of Rockaway Road and Ga. Highway 74.

In the past

few months, one of the biggest challenges facing many Senoia commuters

is the busy intersection located within the city limits of Peachtree City.

Each morning,

hundreds try to turn left on Hwy. 74 to reach their jobs in Peachtree

City or head to Atlanta via Interstate 85.

Without a traffic

light at the busy intersection, commuters can often wait several minutes

for a shot at getting on the state highway.

During last

week's Senoia City Council meeting, Mayor Dianne Cleveland said she had

received a letter from Peachtree City Mayor Steve Brown offering his support

for the project.

In his letter,

Brown thanked Cleveland for bringing the matter to his attention

"I will

make sure that our city engineer is aware of the situation. Perhaps we

can have both our police chiefs, city managers and city engineers meet

to discuss possible solutions," Brown wrote.

At an earlier

meeting, Councilman Bill Wood said there have been 40 accidents and 15

injuries at the intersection from 1998 to 2001.

In addition

to Brown, Wood said he would also ask the city's legislators to get involved

in talks with DOT. The road is not slated to be widened until 2009, but

Cleveland said the city cannot wait that long for relief.
