Dear Ivan:

COUNTY & MUNICIPAL

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
INDUSTRY & LABOR
RETIREMENT COMMITTEE

There is concern in the Buckhead area about the growing traffic problem on
Peachtree. Several people have inquired about the proposed Buckhead Loop

which would relieve the traffic on Peachtree north of the Roswell Road-Peach-

tree intersection.

This loop was intended to connect the Lenox Square area with the Buckhead
area without crowding the Peachtree road itself. With the new Phipps Center
on the old Alexander property, the problem will be impossible unless some-
thing is done. It is my understanding that the County has recommended a

plan, but when your Planning Department was consulted no one could tell
of any definite progress in this area.

me

I talked to Rodney Cook this morning and he was very opposed to the County
plan, but in order to relieve the condition the city will have to come up

with some counter plan. This problem is toeaccute to remain unresolved.

I

have tried to talk to Collier Glad\en several times but have been unable to
contact him, but it does appear to me that the City Planning Department
should immediately tackle this problem and come up with a constructive work-

able solution to the traffic problem in the Buckhead area.

If I can do anything to help, please let me know.
Sincerely,
eae Til:.,
Senator, 40th District.
