The TSPLOST constrained list will be out in a little while. I’ve heard many different ideas about how the vote for TSPLOST might go. All of the City of Dacula suggested projects were omitted from the first unconstrained list, except for a joint Gwinnett/Dacula proposal to complete Sugarloaf Extension from GA 316 to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard near Sugar Hill.
The most needed project for the City is the replacement of the bridge over the railroad at Winder Highway and the four-lane expansion of Harbins and Dacula Roads. This system is a regional system. Harbins Road/Dacula Road collects traffic from at least three counties and constrains them at the bridge. The system provides for school traffic as well.
I’ve heard some say that they will not vote for the TSPLOST unless the improvements for Harbins/Dacula Roads and the bridge are included. I’ve heard other say that they will vote against the TSPLOST no matter what.
I wonder if readers would spend a few seconds answering a short survey on this matter? The questions to be answered are short and sweet.
Would you be likely to vote for or against the TSPLOST based on the information you have at the present time?
Would you be more likely to vote for/against the TSPLOST if the bridge at Winder Highway were included in the constrained list?
Would you be more likely to vote for/against the TSPLOST if you knew that there are penalties for future transportation dollars if TSPLOST fails or the roundtable fails to produce a constrained list?
Would you be more likely to vote for/against the TSPLOST if some or all of the light and heavy transit projects were removed?
If you would like to provide further information beyond you survey answers, please email me at mayordacula@att.net so that I can provide the information to the appropriate folks at the County and State levels.
