[I-85/I-385 widening proposed]

I like the idea of having express lanes. I am not so sure that HOV lanes are a good solution. I already see almost no enforcement of really annoying and wreckless driving behaviors (tailgating, driving under the posted speed limit in the left lane, refusing to stay right except to pass, lane changes with no signal, etc) on I-85. I don't think the area police agencies are going to add officers just to patrol I-85, even if HOV lanes were added.

I did not realize that Aladdin's had closed. It sounded like a unique place with belly dancers and a hookah bar...

I totally agree about "Club Cream" sounding like a strip club (not an "upscale" one, either!).

I enjoyed my visit to Aladdin's. We went right after the place had opened, and the food was not bad at all. I'm sorry to hear that they are no longer open. I think they were not in the best location though, considering the several other restaurants that closed nearby.

Blah. I wish this project would get moving! I emailed someone at [email protected] a month or two ago and they replied saying a tenant list wouldn't be out until some time in '08. Anyone know anything else?

As Galley stated, it appears that they are putting in a new drainage system right along Woodruff Road. I saw that this past weekend and at first thought they were just removing the hill, but then saw that they were definitely installing drainage pipes.

By the way, welcome to the forum, Adam_5!

Thanks! This thread has made for some interesting reading.

They sure are tearing up the hill along Woodruff Rd. It appears they are putting in a new drainage system.

I can't figure out if all that excavating along the front of Woodruff Road is for a new entrance, or something else. I've seen equipment from what I think is Strange Bros. and another grading company out there in the past, although it looks like Strange Bros. is doing the current excavating.
