It is juat "a study" people. We have over 20 acres in the corridor and pay property tax on 60. Get on with it...this "corridor blight" is killing us. It will never go through Garner it will cost too much.

The only people with a good map, are the ones buying land up in strange places and patterns,,,I know people that paid 4 times the land value and bought property near I40,, Maps were off about a hundred feet,, They wound up with land locked property, still not used today,,,

Dont have a dog in this fight,, But even money says they goina build a road thru Garner,, What a waste of property,,

Perhaps the GA has learned something about their kneejerk conservative laws, now that they have to spend more time to correct their waste of time with the first legislation.

Seems no one wants the new road. Just forget the new road and they can come and resurface our subdivisions 35 year old street.

Just great. Now Bubba can go out and get just about as armed and drunk as he pleases. Sumo Vita

No, he can't.

He'd be violating the law if he drank alcohol while carrying. Just like right now under the current law.

The point of the law is that he could carry his gun when he takes his family to Applebees.

Right now, he CAN'T, because they happen to serve alcohol. Even if he's not buying any. Even if nobody at his entire table is buying any. He can't bring his gun with him even if NOBODY in the entire place is drinking- simply because they serve it there.

So he'd have to leave it in the car, where it's more likely to be stolen, and where it does him no good if a crime happened in the restaurant.

Go to this link for the best detail map I have seen. It shows more properties are impacted than have been indicated in the news. http://www.ncdot.gov/projects/southeastextension/download/southeast_docs_PotentialDSAsAerialLowRes.pdf

If they don't complete the loop the whole thing is a waste of time and money. And when the loop is complete, the entire thing should either have a toll or there should be no toll at all.

The lilac, orange and plum routes are the only ones that make sense. A bypass needs to go down near 42 and over to the 70 bypass or 40/42 interchange to be considered a true "bypass" around congested areas in the southern part of the triangle.

"We love Garner" - Stam

Stam and Dollar loved Garner a lot more when they weren't in charge. Maybe they can call the new portion of 540 the "Nelson Dollar Tollway."

Who wants to bet Skippy has got some kind of money coming to him somewhere?
