As the population grows in Calhoun, traffic has risen as well. We are no longer a small community, but a growing one. If we do not equip ourselves with the proper traffic equipment, we aren't embracing the growth, instead we are hindering it. If you could prevent accidents from happening, would you? Here's your chance. Not only would a red light at the prime traffic point in the entire community speed up the daily commute for our citizens, but it would help the school buses and any other daily traffic in running more smoothly. We have an opportunity to grow and expand further, but we must make the needed improvements in order to do so. Calhoun is a great place to live, not only because of the great people here, but is also attractive to young families raising children due to four public schools located in our community that all consistently place in the top percentile in achievement. With many retail, restaurant and entertainment venues nearby, as well as three local universities, our future is bright. The time to make improvements is now.

I'm definitely all for the red light. There are times when I have to be at work at 8 and when your at that intersection in the morning it can take over 10 mins just to get off the road....please help us get the red light
My family have been in Calhoun for 5 generations and this is a need that has to be put in place ASAP. There are new people that are coming to the area that do not have the consideration for others as most of the older established families who the town and roads were named for. As we grow precautions need to be put in place for all of the residents safety both new and old.
This intersection has become an absolute nightmare before and after school. I have seen buses get stuck on a daily basis. And Lord forbid you got caught there after school while two trains are passing each other at the bottom of the hill.
Darlene Nugent As owner of Girlfriends right on the corner, over the last 10 years I have witnessed many accidents and tons of near misses. Bad intersection.
This intersection is dangerous because when you are coming beside the bank to go towards the interstate you cannot see far enough to the right to see if a vehicle is coming. If someone comes to fast and you don't get to turn or go across fast enough, you may get t-boned. Definitely need a red light here, we have needed one for YEARS!
I support the red light, it will help traffic flow.
This red light has been a need for many years.
