Eyes on the Road: Officials mull traffic signal for Ga. 53 intersection
Placeholder Image
As Ga. 53/Dawsonville Highway in west Gainesville continues to sprawl, traffic continues to crawl. Development and government officials are considering the traffic situation particularly around Beechwood Boulevard, where cars can box up as motorists approach McEver Road or Ahaluna Drive — two signalized intersections on that stretch. One question is whether to put up a traffic light at the entrance to where three busy restaurants are now clustered and what could be — on the other side of the road — an eventual 245,000-square-foot shopping center.
