Eyes on the Road: DOT asked to consider extras for US 129 project

Hall County’s lead transportation planning agency has asked the Georgia Department of Transportation to consider bicycle and pedestrian paths as part of the widening of U.S. 129 between Limestone Parkway and Nopone Road in North Hall. “This addition would be in line with the (DOT’s) Complete Streets policy and also would meet our region’s goal to expand and enhance such facilities,” said Gainesville Mayor Danny Dunagan in a letter to the DOT. Dunagan is chairman of the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization’s decision-making policy committee. “Complete streets” are roadways where sidewalks, bike paths and bus stops factor in with lanes for vehicular travel.
