Interstate will increase pollution and traffic

Letter to the Editor, The Northeast Georgian

June 24, 2005

I just read the editorial by Jenée Wilde concerning the possibility of an interstate along Route 17. This is a very upsetting matter.

I have been looking to buy a house in the Clarkesville area. Why? To get away from the traffic, noise, pollution and on-going building of unsightly subdivisions.

I have gone from seasonal allergies to chronic bronchitis. All of this is because of air pollution. When I am in your general area I notice the difference in air quality. I also notice less traffic and fewer subdivisions.

Through your newspaper I will try to stay posted as to what will take place. I would love to settle in your area; however, if this project follows through, then your area will be out of the question.

Is there nowhere on God's green earth where the people retain the right to keep it green?
