Athens weighs road from East State to Home Street tied to library area
Athens officials study linking East Park Drive to Home Street to ease traffic on East State Street as part of the East State rehab. Two options would run near the Route 33 overpass and behind the library, or east of the library lot toward Putnam Square and Baymont Inn. City lawmakers fear negative effects on residents, green space, and the Athens Farmers Market. If approved, the connection would be planned for a second phase and tied to redevelopment around the Athens Community Center campus.
