Connector proposal causing a public stir
Ga. 53-Ga. 60 link would include bridge over Lake Lanier

Public attention on Gainesville’s Transportation Master Plan has turned from Green Street to a proposed route that would connect Ga. 53/Dawsonville Highway to Ga. 60/Thompson Bridge Road and feature a bridge over Lake Lanier. A grass-roots movement is in the works, as Stacy Reimer and Nick Ditta brought a yellow flyer addressing the issue with them to a community open-house meeting Thursday night at the Gainesville Civic Center. The couple fears such as road would be a double whammy for them, steering traffic away from their business, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, at 165 John W. Morrow Parkway, and their house off Oakland Drive.
