City should have done more for Kedron

Now, if you have only a vision

distance of 150 feet or so, you're got about two seconds before you

are T-boned. Now add 1,400 cars a day. Common sense only tells you where

that will lead to.

What is planned for the cart

path that crosses Regent's Park approximately 15 feet to the east

of the intersection? Imagine being on a golf cart and getting hit by a

car going 40 mph. What an ugly sight that would be! This is not maintaining

safety of a neighborhood and its citizens!

I am appalled that the Kedron

Village plans were allowed to get this far. I am very disappointed that

our own mayor, whose main platform was no big boxes, and our city [planner]

Mr. Rast have sold us and Peachtree City out.

Faison is angry and now pursuing

the city, at everyone's expense, in court because they were led to

believe, by Mr. Brown and Mr. Rast, that they had the go ahead. The major,

illegal, big box plan should have been nipped from the beginning.

I was aware the area was slated

for commercial development, but this development as proposed is not in

keeping with the master plan of PTC. A law is a law, what makes Faison

and Pathways exempt? Pathways developed this beautiful city; why would

they now, as it is nearing completion, want to destroy it?

Mr. Mayor and council, I urge

all of you, who are citizens of PTC, not Faison's employers, to do

what you were elected to do: represent the citizens of PTC and do what

is best for the health, safety and welfare of them. That includes upholding

the big box ordinance and finding a different entrance and exit into the

center other than the extension of Regent's Park.
