It's seemingly the project that will never end, or start, for that matter.
Anyone who's lived in savannah the past few years probably remembers studies which looked at traffic on DeRenne.
The latest concepts for expanding, developing, or changing traffic patterns and neighborhoods along derenne were unveiled Thursday night.
More than 100 people showed up to look at the four different plans - which were created by the city over an 18 month period with the help of a citizen planning group.
While the city sold the concepts for a less congested, more beautiful neighborhood, the reaction to the plans were mixed.
"They are saying its going to be pretty and they are going to plant trees and this and that, where's the money coming from?" wonders Catherine Cook, a Derenne business owner. "Where is it coming from to buy our business? We have 100 people we hire. What's going to happen to those people?"
"There are some speed bumps," explained Dwayne Simpson, a Project Committee Member. "We are going to iron them out because this is only the second art of this deal. I think we'll all be fine. Its goin to work out well in the long run."
If you would like to see it all for yourself, the City of Savannah has all the options, drawings, models and information on a special website.
