Comments on: Tanker Truck traffic and the Revive285 project http://doraville.org/?p=814 Small town politics, deep in the heart of metro Atlanta Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:01:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Dave Bearse http://doraville.org/?p=814&cpage=1#comment-10187 Dave Bearse Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:48:33 +0000 http://doraville.org/?p=814#comment-10187 Bob, it's sad to say, but your relevation about the tank farms demonstrates to me the public involvement component of Revive 285 may be window dressing. At the last set of meetings months ago, I spent over 30 minutes discussing the Buford Highway / I-285 interchange with Frank Dantchez, former DOT Chief Engineer who is now a senior executive at (I think) Arcadis, one of the firms involved in Revive 285. We specifically discussed alternatives that would reroute tanker traffic. Thereafter I spent an hour preparing a detailed written comment about the interchange that included references to the tank farm traffic. At least I read the post in time such that I won't waste another hour preparing and submitting a written comment.
