CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) — Dozens of residents attended a meeting held by Chatham County and the Georgia Department of Transportation Tuesday night about improving the Highway 204 corridor. "People are getting killed at the light," Dobson Washington, who lives along the corridor, said. Multiple people have died in car accidents along the section of Highway 204 in question, and locals said that enough is enough. "We've experienced deaths right there at that light, people trying to go past the light, t-boning people," District 6 Commissioner Aaron Whitely, said. "We've also seen death down by the Grove Point, Georgetown Flower areas, too. So, safety is a big problem." Excessive traffic is another issue that meeting attendees say they'd like to see addressed in the new plans. "It's every day. In the mornings going to work, you never know what's going to happen. It could be something on 16 that happens that backs up the traffic all around. It could take you 20, and that's the least amount of time. Sometimes, it could take 30, 40 minutes sometimes," Garnasia Bogus, who also lives along 204, said. Betty Ellington, a resident along the corridor, said, "It's a parking lot at certain times on Abercorn and 17. So, we are hoping that some alternatives will be able to alleviate those problems." Some of the alternatives include widening 204, improving the ramp entrances and exits, and adding more lanes for cars to accelerate and U-turn. Though, residents say the real problem is bigger than that. "It's a little late for the solution, but it should've been handled beforehand," Jerry Bogus, said. "Before development starts, the infrastructure needs to be in first. But everyone wants to get their building and their business going, and that's what happened." Tuesday's meeting is the culmination of a larger traffic study, marking the beginning of the public comment phase. "We're trying to be very aggressive and proactive when we think about the infrastructure development that needs to take place because we're growing so rapidly. So, this is the community having a seat at that table," Commissioner Whiteley said. If you'd like to leave feedback, you can email or send a letter to the county. They'll be accepting public comment until Nov. 27.
