Committee members raise concerns about stalled development, sidewalks and state road projects

Committee members reported that local development has slowed in portions of the West Rock district, and they discussed sidewalk construction and the appearance of numerous roundabouts on state-managed roads.

A member described development as stopping in some areas and said sidewalks and other public improvements had not kept pace where projects stalled. Separately, a participant remarked that the Georgia Department of Transportation has been building many roundabouts across the state, citing examples from long-distance travel as evidence of the agency’s broader activity.

No formal motions or directives to staff were recorded on these topics in the transcript. The committee set its next meeting for December, at the same location, according to a comment toward the end of the session.
