Carol, Thanks for pointing out Tville road widening was not warranted to 6 lanes vs 4. Some will say yes but I’ll bet if it was widened to 8 lanes it would eventually get crowded again. Look at any city. Lots of taxdollars seems to go to widening roads instead of alternatives and better/cheaper zoning. How many lanes is enough for our taxdollars? Capital Circle near the airport is very wide and ugly and was empty last time I drove it.

Or how many people, cars, and animals ended up in the Franklin Blvd ditch during decades of flash floods. Or that the expansion of Thomasville and Mahan roads were not warranted, at least based upon the actual real live trip counts and were advanced ahead of at least two roads on the south side that had been deficient for a number of years.

BTW, the original projections showed that somewhere around 25 to 30 percent of the tax funds were expected to come from residents of adjoining counties and visitors to the community. The current numbers are in that ballpark. I’m not suggesting the money be used for projects in Wakulla and Gadsden counties.

As I see understand now there are only three projects in the North East sector. keep up the good work.
