Dawsonville Highway/Ga. 53 traffic in Gainesville isn’t going to get better anytime soon, but road planners are taking a couple of steps to improve the long-term picture. A committee within the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Hall County area’s lead transportation planning agency, voted Wednesday morning to recommend pursuing federal transportation money to perform a traffic signal/intersection improvement study for commercially booming Dawsonville Highway at McEver Road. The group, comprising area road planners, engineers and other officials, also recommended reshuffling projects in the area’s transportation plan so that some improvements — such as adding a straight-through lane — along Ga. 53 get done sooner.
