Roswell wants to move forward with Ga. Department of Transportation plans to improve traffic flow and safety at the city's busiest intersection -- Holcomb/Crossville Road at Ga. 9 -- but local business owners say they will be out of business if the GDOT design is carried out.
GDOT insists on putting a median that would run through the intersection north to south along Ga. 9. An east-west median already exists along Holcomb/Crossville Road. Business owners and mall operators at the intersection said the medians are the kiss of death for the stores that would be "walled off" by the two sets of medians.
The second median on Ga. 9 would effectively prevent any left turn out of the businesses and malls on the four corners of the intersection. The medians would also wall them off from traffic coming to them from the opposite side of the street.
