The first proposal included all the homes on Blackmon Drive. They are no longer part of the plan. Since the plot of land is smaller, the first logical thing to go is the non revenue producing area. This is a business transaction not a game of Sims.

Yeah, I know. But it made me think of the study.

I think stearns was being sarcastic.

Partial grade separation, like the Garvin proposal you mention, is interesting to discuss, but it doesn’t scale so well.

In a North Druid Hills study, one consultant had a large roundabout at Briarcliff & North Druid Hills that allowed regional traffic to bypass the intersection (motorists traveling from Stone Mountain to Buckhead) but allowed local traffic access to businesses and side streets. It looked ambitious (and costly), but I thought it was a neat idea.

Not saying it would fly at this intersection, but there is a lot of regional traffic on Scott that interacts with locals trying to cross.

I trust the DeKalb County Commissioners even less.
