The Joint Water and Sewer Commission has officially canceled the full road closure and will implement a phased traffic plan instead. This shift away from a total shutdown directly addresses the concerns regarding gridlock on Demere and Frederica roads. We will continue monitoring the construction schedule to ensure these alternative …

As a resident or visitor to Saint Simons Island, GA., I urge the Joint Water and Sewer Commission, the Glynn County Manager and Board of Commissioners to identify ways to eliminate or significantly reduce the need to close Sea Island Road for three weeks in February. This will result in creating essentially gridlock on Demere and Frederica roads - - both of these roads are already bumper-to-bumper during peak travel times.

As quoted in the Brunswick News, “People will still have access to their homes and to the shopping districts, but Sea Island Road will be closed to through traffic,” county manager Alan Ours said. “The public will have to find another route to get through.” This appears to indicate that no real attention has been given to the ensuing chaos that residents and visitors will experience during the shut-down period.

Failure to find a better solution will only increase the perception that county management is more focused on developers than caring for its residents.

We have reached the 2500 signature threshold. I have sent a formal request for a meeting with the Glynn County Manager to discuss alternative construction staging options. Legal counsel is currently drafting a letter to the Joint Water and Sewer Commission to demand a revised traffic mitigation plan.

How does the added cost of selecting some combination of conventional ditch digging and horizontal directional drilling that allows the road to remain open, compare to the value of thousands of hours of lost time incurred by taxpayers stuck in traffic jams?

A possible solution is to change the JSWC's 40 hour work week to weekdays from 930-230pm and weekends from 9-5pm. Additionally, they could try to keep 1 lane open. This may help to minimize the impact on school/ work traffic.

This is absurd! Remember when they worked on that little bridge the results. School buses, contractors, people going to work and home will cause massive grid lock solid on whole island. God help us if.an ambulance needs to get off!

There are only two routes off this island. . .Demere or Sea Island. When we are told to "find another way" it makes it sound like we have multiple choices, which we don't. What will Demere look like with the whole island using it to get off and on the Causeway?

There needs to be serious consideration given to the impact of completely closing this road during peak travel times. All of Our kids on this Island will be late to school every day for 3 weeks... Or have to leave an hour earlier! Unacceptable Glynn County!

I live behind St Williams on Frederica, and work at Shops at Sea Island. It takes me 5 minutes to get to work. How long will it take me when you shut down Sea Isalnd road and all that traffic is on Frederica? Is it really necessary to shut it down completely? Reason being?
