Area government officials are forming a “work group” to study how to bring more cars and people to the Georgia Rideshare lot off Exit 17 at Interstate 985. Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown pushed for creating the group after officials discussed the lonely state of the park-and-ride lot off Thurmon Tanner Parkway and Ga. 13/Atlanta Highway at Tuesday’s Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Policy Committee meeting. The discussion was prompted by MPO transportation planner David Fee’s presentation on a survey of commuters using carpooling lots off I-985.
