A move to fast-track improvements to one of Gainesville’s busiest intersections stalled a bit today as officials wrestled with the issue of putting the project ahead of other needy road fixes. Transportation plans “need to be financially constrained, so if you’re putting a $2.8 million project in the plan, that means you need to take out another project,” said Srikanth Yamala, director of the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization, Hall County’s lead transportation planning agency. The lingering issue resurfaced at a meeting of the MPO’s policy committee, a decision-making group comprising top elected officials in the area.
