Ramah Road

open again; light at Hwy. 85 to get left turn arrow

Officials hope changes help school traffic

Ramah Road has been reopened now that the repaving work is complete.

Some striping work is still planned for the road, and a sidewalk will be

added connecting the nearby shopping center to existing sidewalks on Redwine

Road, said City Engineer Don Easterbrook. That sidewalk will eventually connect

with a new multi-use path planned to extend south on Redwine, Easterbrook

said.

There is also more work to be done on the traffic signal at Ramah and Ga.

Highway 85, Easterbrook said. A left turn signal will be added so motorists

won't have to wait for oncoming traffic to head north on Hwy. 85, Easterbrook

added.

The Ramah Road light, which also serves the extension for Ga. Highway 92

south, is the easiest way for traffic coming from south Redwine Road to reach

Hwy. 85.

The city is trying to get the project wrapped up before school starts. Residents

who live on Redwine have voiced concerns that on school mornings, the resulting

traffic chokes the area.
