Oconee County Citizen Committee To Discuss Its List of Transportation Concerns Tuesday

The Oconee County Citizen Advisory Committee on Land Use and Transportation Planning is scheduled to review its ranked list of 23 Roadway, Intersection and Transportation Concerns on Tuesday night before sending the list to county officials for possible action.

The Committee generated the list back in May, discussed it again in July, and is set to give it a final review, starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the Oconee County Community Center at Oconee Veterans Park.

Rated most pressing by the committee in balloting it conducted since that July meeting are improvements to the intersection of Union Church Road and Hog Mountain Road, to the intersection of Rocky Branch Road, Mars Hill Road and Virgil Langford Road, and to the intersection of Malcolm Bridge Road and Hog Mountain Road.

Next highest on the list of concerns is the intersection of Mars Hill Road and Hog Mountain Road at Butler’s Crossing and the entrance to Gainesville State College on Experiment Station Road, just south of Butler’s Crossing.

All of the high-priority projects as well as most of the others on the list are in the heavily populated northern part of the county.
