New Richland traffic plan to be attempted
Athens Mayor Raymond Shepard announced a new plan to improve Richland Avenue traffic within days. The Richland Hooper Carriage Hill intersection will switch to a four way light with a 95 second cycle, eliminating turning lights and allowing all traffic to move together. Construction of an extra lane is underway and should finish soon. The Richland movement period will rise from 30 to 60 seconds, boosting throughput. Officials may extend the plan to Canterbury Road and consider a push button light at Morrison School to keep Richland green unless pedestrians cross.
