One of the

biggest challenges facing many Senoia commuters is the intersection of

Ga. Highway 74 and Rockaway Road.

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 Monday

night's Senoia City Council meeting, Mayor Dianne Cleveland and Councilman

Bill Wood said the intersection needs to be addressed quickly.

Wood said there

have been 40 accidents and 15 injuries at the intersection from 1998 to

2001.

Cleveland said

she had already drafted a letter to Peachtree City Mayor Steve Brown asking

for his help in trying to convince the state Department of Transportation

to put a traffic control device at the intersection.

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.
