Athens City Council Balks at Connecting Road Solution
A reader recounts attending the August 5 Athens City Council meeting where the council moved to a first reading of an ordinance to kill the Mulligan Road Hooper Street connection. The writer proposed removing a barrier at Hickory Street and Mulligan to allow Mulligan residents access via a private plaza, arguing it would cost about 50 dollars and could ease traffic to Richland Avenue. The piece criticizes perceived indifference and notes state bid activity for removing more houses on Hooper and Perry Street.
