I sent this photo to Alderman Beverly Burger, J. Johnson, Jamie Groce and several other people a few years ago in an effort to illustrate how simple it would be to put a traffic light where the entrances to the two churches align rather than routing traffic up Country Road.
My husband and I talked face-to-face with Jamie Groce who told us, "It would be too expensive for the Grace Point developers to bridge the creek." But, the exisiting entrance on Franklin Road to their property had been in use for at least 30 years. What's the problem?
Odd that GracePoint developers managed to come up with $450,000 to widen the mouth of Country Road. Both Jamie and Alderman Burger told us Clear View Baptist would be forced to close their entrance/exit onto Franklin Road
and align their new entrance/exit to Country Road.
Clear View Baptist's construction is now completed. (It looks great.) They didn't move their entrance.
Does anyone else smell that fishy smell? Yeah, that smell of buddy deals and kick-backs.
I think it's time for a class action law suit against the city. We neighbors would like our sanctuary restored.

Jaime Groce and Eric Gardner are little more than yes men.
They have little authority, and even smaller you know whats.
You're going to find little interest toward your concerns unless you can pay off certain members of the administration.
it could be worse, you could have had the city cower to a "Church" that forced their development smack dab in the middle of our neighborhood and 5 years later they ran out of money only 25% into the project. all that is there is the 1st of 3 buildings and a whole bunch of unpaved gravel. blessed be indeed...
True. We also count our blessings in that we've yet to suffer ding-dong bells ringing every 15 minutes from a giant tower outside our door. (Thank you, Lord.)
