| PWC Road Projects For November's Ballot [pwcitizen_org] | Jul 17, 2006 18:16 |
The Gainesville Times [timescommunity.com] has the details on the nine projects, totalling $307M.
In addition, the bond will include $20 million for "safety improvements." That money will be used for smaller scale problems, primarily for installing traffic lights and turn lanes at dangerous intersections. The intersection at Catharpin and Route 55 and the one at U.S. 29 and Pageland Lane were mentioned as prime candidates for that type of expenditure.
I am glad to see that. It took a person being killed at the intersection of Rt 55 and Catharpin Road in early 2005 to shame the county into paying for a traffic light there. Now, I guess the intersection will get turn lanes. It's good to see the county officials learned a lesson.
