I read in your paper the new Holiday Inn Express will be built on Dawsonville Highway, a fast-growing, bustling section of town. That’s not exactly how we would describe it. It’s turned into a nightmare, and the building is still going on, with no chance of widening the road.

Traffic backs up from the McDonald’s almost to the Gainesville Marina. It’s impossible for my friend to get out of Beachwood Boulevard. And still, the houses up Ahaluna Drive are to be built. I just wish the people who planned this had to drive into town and out in the evening at rush hour.

I’d like the names of whoever came up with this idea. I think a monkey could have planned this better.
