Has this already been approved? I was told that bike lanes on Church were not a big deal, “just a three foot line along the right lane”. Is this what is being proposed or is there a major change to a state highway coming in the future? A few years ago, a senator was ridiculed for a “bridge to nowhere”. The suggested changes to North McDonough and Church Street seem to fit this description. There might be a few citizens that may use bike lanes going downtown and back again but is this worth the expense? How grand does North McDonough Street need to be? There seems to be a rush to approve these ideas. I suggest that we slow down and look carefully at the plans.
Does anyone remember the construction delays for the MARTA improvements? Did anyone see retention ponds in the Glenlake renovation plan? Once these plans to McDonough and Church are approved, anything can happen. I suggest that we slow down and carefully consider the changes proposed for these streets.

What I meant was a DM “form” letter for each of us to then send out ( with a brief personal note added if desired.)

And how about all the other Atlanta area bloggers? Any ideas for getting them united on this effort? This would be a great opportunity for Blogs to say “POW! We are ON IT!”

We have GOT to let all these state politicians know that the days of sitting around & burning precious daylight & thinking no one’s watching are GONE!
