We have received an email from the Lake Lanier Community Preservation Association, which is a newly formed group of neighbors committed to sustained involvement in matters impacting North Hall and Lake Lanier. They have asked us to share information on this upcoming meeting about proposed northern connector routes in North Hall which could negatively impact Lake Lanier.
Below is an excerpt from their email with a link to their Web site.

The GHMPO Policy meeting is so important that we want to be sure that everyone knows it is this coming Tuesday, November 10th.
Nov. 10th GHMPO Policy Meeting: We need you there .. and bring a friend!!
Next Tuesday, Nov. 10th, the GHMPO Policy Committee will meet at 10 a.m. at the GA Mountains Center. This is the meeting where final action could be taken on the routes that we want withdrawn from the Northern Connector. We really need to have a strong showing to reinforce the action that we want the committee to take. The impact on elected officials of looking a large number of voters in the eye (especially when making a decision about destroying homes, neighborhoods, etc.) is not to be underestimated.
Remember, there is only one member of the Policy Committee who is appointed by Hall County. We do anticipate that some action, hopefully a formal motion, will be made for the committee to follow the Commissioners' recommendation and drop the routes, yet, it is not a given that they will.
Our intent is to solicit concerned citizens, like yourself, to be on hand to encourage them to disregard these routes now and in the future. So come if at all possible; if you absolutely cannot - find someone to come in your place.
Petition: We need more signatures... yours and your friends !!
Just like the meeting - numbers speak volumes to elected officials. We are targeting Tuesday's meeting to deliver the petition to the Policy Committee. If you have not signed - please do. It takes less than a minute. Just go to http://www.stopthebridges.com/, click the red button "sign the petition" and all you need to enter is your name and zip code and check a box to submit. There is a comment field as well if you want to say why you are opposed to the routes.
If you have signed already, please take a minute to either forward this email or send the link to the web site to friends, family, neighbors or others. The more signatures the louder the message we send.
