The GA DOT and City of Alpharetta are proposing a traffic island / median which will not allow left turns into and out of the Mannings Ridge neighborhood once completed. The removal of the center lane for merging access into the south bound lanes creates an undue safety hazard for those exiting the neighborhood and the right turn only requirement restricts the choice of businesses which our neighbors can patronize by requiring them to turn away from the businesses along SR Highway 9 south of our neighborhood including Publix, Wills Park, Pure and other frequently used services such as vehicle maintenance, dry cleaners, and pharmacies.

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to remove all medians restricting access to Pine Grove Drive from SR Highway 9.
