Why Flowery Branch believes closing railroad crossings would ease traffic
08192018 RAILROAD 1.jpg
Traffic moves along Radford Road Thursday, Aug. 16, 2018, at the railroad crossing in Flowery Branch. Flowery Branch is looking at closing a railroad crossing near downtown and approaching Hall County about closing another one.
Bill Stark “really didn’t want” a popular cut-through road running by the 67-home subdivision he’s developing off McEver Road. That was something pushed by Flowery Branch, he said. Now events may play out in Stark’s favor, as the South Hall city is approaching Hall County about possibly closing the Radford Road railroad crossing, which is between McEver Road and Atlanta Highway/Ga. 13 and is both in Flowery Branch and unincorporated Hall.
