Mayors want more road information

Last week's

retreat in Athens by Coweta's government leaders sparked several debates

about communication between leaders.

One of the

more spirited debates concerned the recently approved Coweta-Fayette Connector

extending from TDK Boulevard that is supposed to bring relief to residents

trying to get to Peachtree City and its industries.

New Sharpsburg

Mayor David Mullins wanted to know what specific plans the county has

for dealing with what he believes will be an onslaught of traffic in his

town.

"What

are you planning to do with the disbursement of 7,000 vehicles?"

He asked.

Turin Mayor

Amy Starr agreed with Mullins and said she wasn't informed of the plans

surrounding the road either.

But County

Commissioner Vernon "Mutt" Hunter, who has helped spearhead

the effort to get the road built quickly, said there were plenty of public

hearings about the road and there would be other transportation meetings

with Peachtree City Mayor Steve Brown.

"You can

go to those meetings and see if you can handle him (Brown)," Hunter

said.

Besides, Hunter

said, the most affected jurisdiction is going to be Senoia, not Sharpsburg

or Turin.

Senoia Mayor

Dianne Cleveland agreed with Hunter and asked to be included on any future

discussions about the road.

Hunter said

engineering plans are not complete for the road, but said other government

leaders were welcome to offer their input on the issue.
