To the Editor:
I understand progress in the 484 corridor. I understand all the people going to work. I understand the only way to get large amounts of dirt, rocks, and products to job sites is with trucks, be it flatbed, dump, or any other. What I do not understand is why the county has not kept up with the traffic flow and the large, deep potholes!
It’s wrong, and dare I say “backwoods,” to make all of the drivers have to wait 35 minutes to reach I-75 while hitting deep potholes and weaving in an ever-changing obstacle course of cones! To be stuck in the far berm while still on I-75, just to get off onto 484, is heart-stopping! All trucks going 80 mph have to try not to hit you because you are technically still on I-75.
Progress is fine, but the roads and traffic are not! If our tax money helps support progress, the county needs to rethink the cluster junk of traffic.
