Most of that traffic during

the school year is either teachers, parents of students or the students

themselves, but a lot of these drivers choose to cut through the gas station

that sits on the west side of Hwy. 85 between Hood and Ga. Highway 92,

so they can get onto 85 with the safety that the signal light offers at

92.

I once spoke with Councilman

Hovey-King who lives just down Hood Avenue about the signal light placement

and was told that it would cost money in its placement and the city was

"looking into it."

No light yet but the intersection

is even more dangerous today with the added traffic that the city has

gained over these years.

The new transportation plan

is a laugh. The answer to the problem according to the "plan"

is to buy property between Hood Avenue and 92 (eminent domain on someone's

home?), build a connector road between the two roads which would cause

traffic to have to make left-hand turns just ahead of two busy intersections.

Is a signal light that darned

expensive? Gee! Maybe we can add another unsafe intersection to our Fayetteville

travels.
