[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a waste of money[/quote]

Complete and total waste of money spearheaded by a former state legislator who wanted to make it easier to back out of her driveway onto Georgia Ave. [/quote]

This is a rumor and not true at all[/quote]

Says who?

I live in Brookeville btw. It's a pretty small town and people talk.

Regardless, the bypass ripped through woodland to avoid roughly a dozen houses owned by people who knew what they were getting into when they bought their homes on Georgia Ave. Making the case that it was all of a sudden too busy in the small town was a bit much. It isn't a town; it's a dozen+ houses. We rerouted traffic for the benefit of a ridiculously small amount of people. Why? The speed limit is very low and traffic is controlled by a stop sign at the only intersection. What was the issue? Big trucks? Guess what? There are steps that could have been taken to ban tractor trailers on a portion of the road. They could have opted to reroute big trucks. Instead they opted to reroute all traffic...and that begs the question, "Why?"

Because a former state legislator wanted to back out of her driveway on Georgia Ave.

Many millions of dollars later, we have a completely unnecessary major road cut through woodland. The impact on the local community center and adjacent field is a tragedy. BTW, why does the community center have such limited hours and limited activities? Ridiculous. [/quote]
