In case there’s not enough to be annoyed with GDOT about in this case, I’d like to note that if the project had broken ground in Jan ’09 it MIGHT have been close enough to completion not to interfere with BBBFest that year and probably would have been finished before the Oakhurst Art & Music Festival in October. If they begin next June or July, then both of those events will be seriously affected–maybe obstructed altogether. Honestly, I can’t think of any entity I despise more than GDOT.

Question: Are the projects under discussion now (Candler/College/RR, McDonough/College/RR, etc.) subject to getting caught in the same GDOT quagmire?

Can anyone tell me what this all means for the Oakhurst Village improvements that were approved some years ago? Seems as I hear about the new McDonough improvements happening sooner, even though they were approved later. No need for a recap of the bond referenda related to those improvements or a lengthy exposition on how Dancing for Dollars affects the propsects for my little corner of Decatur’s improvement; just looking for a date. Thanks!
