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.
