Rather than let a newly completed bicycle-pedestrian plan collect dust, area officials agreed Wednesday to form a committee that would talk about possibly kick-starting “some early-action” projects. “There’s several things I think we can do as a good demonstration of how to connect some stuff together,” Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown told the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization’s technical coordinating committee, a group comprising area planners and engineers. The MPO serves as Hall County’s road planning agency.
