A road that used to connect downtown Oakwood to Atlanta Highway in South Hall County is fading more and more into history. Woodlane Drive, which juts off Allen Street, was overrun by the construction of Interstate 985 and more recently, Thurmon Tanner Parkway, a four-lane road that runs parallel to I-985 and connects Flowery Branch and Oakwood. And Monday, the Oakwood City Council plans to cast a final vote on whether to abandon an unpaved stretch of the residential street as it dead-ends facing Thurmon Tanner.
