Georgia Rideshare lot goes unused
0831parkride3
Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown would like to see the 360-space Georgia Rideshare better maintained with more police patrolling. The lot was built as part of a $75 million, Interstate 985 reconstruction project in 2009 but has had minimal use as a park and ride.
A Georgia Rideshare lot off Exit 17 at Interstate 985 has become more of a truck terminal and homeless haven than a commuter parking lot five years after it was built. Some improvements have been made recently, through enforcement and other means. But Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown particularly is pushing for ongoing maintenance and better long-term usage of the 360-space lot, which was built as part of a $75 million Interstate 985 reconstruction project in 2009.
