#58 Why on EARTH at this location?

2011-03-29 19:14

We are extremely concerned residents of the area -- fearful of the traffic congestion and general detriment to the neighborhood as well as the potential damage to property value. From the outset, it seems that WellStar purchased the large property until False Pretense with a "Bait & Switch" technique. Beyond those concerns, we also question why this location seems at all attractive for this facility? This is a RESIDENTIAL AREA, several miles from I-75, I-285 and GA 400 with 3 major schools within a 1-mile radius of the location, where commerical zoning is limited and apartments restricted,. Roswell Road/120 barely handles the existing traffic and CANNOT support more-- how can a "traffic assessment" done during the THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY with NO SCHOOL BUSES and MINIMAL COMMUTERS at all be considered Valid??? All along the 120 Loop area there are Virtually Abandoned Commerical Properties, some with only one tenant, clustered conveniently around the improvements currently under construction to widen 120 and increase its access. Why leave these areas useless and empty, and CREATE CHAOS in the middle of a residential neighborhood, our beautiful park and our Nationally-Ranked Schools?
