Active-adult community proposal features Ga. 53 road fixes of its own
Conditions placed on development dont ease resident fears

Traffic crowds Dawsonville Highway/Ga. 53 near the North Lake Square shopping center.
Both sides acknowledge Dawsonville Highway has heavy traffic and that the number of cars will go up if Gainesville City Council approves an 880-home active-adult community Tuesday. But if there were a fork in the busy road, that’s where the developer and opponents to the development would part. Atlanta-based Oak Hall Companies says it believes traffic improvements it has planned — some that must be made before dirt is even turned — should help negate the impact of the development.
