Use
I-3 money to address safety
Opinion, The
Northeast Georgian
June 24, 2005
Georgia's federal elected officials have proposed construction
of two new interstates here - one running east to west and
the other - I-3 - to run from Savannah to Knoxville, Tenn.
The proposed I-3 tentatively would follow the current route
of Highway 17, passing through Toccoa, Clarkesville, Helen
and Hiawassee.
So far, the proposal is unpopular with citizens and the Habersham
County Commission - which voted Monday to formally oppose
the interstate highway.
What our legislators should be considering is that there
is a better and higher use for the money they want to spend
to construct I-3 - making Highway 365 and Highway 316 safer
by limiting access.
Last week, another life was lost in a two-vehicle wreck at
the intersection of Highway 365 and Demorest-Mt. Airy Highway.
While limited access wouldn't eliminate all fatalities on
Highway 365 or Highway 316 (which links Athens and Atlanta),
it could go a long way in making two of Georgia's deadliest
corridors safer for everyone who travels them each day.
It also would improve the transportation corridor through
North Georgia. Perhaps then a suitable link could be installed
somewhere up the road to reach Knoxville, Tenn.
To Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Sen. Johnny Isakson and Congressman
Charlie Norwood, we encourage you to carefully consider existing
safety issues on the state highway system before committing
money to build more interstates.
