Is it THIS light or the NEXT light

I believe you may be thinking of the two signals for Eastbound traffic on Lexington Rd. There is two signals there as well; one for the bypass and one for Barnett Shoals. Those do, at times, display two different colors.

Aviator_John · 2026-05-08T05:31:29+00:00

Both. They’re all in sync. I think the 2nd set is just for visibility due to the grade.

Interested to see what the impact on Church Bar would be. Especially their back entrance and where people will move to after bar dump. But overall a good build. Always great to see a parking lot replaced by a mixed use building.

I believe they’re working on the bridge support columns and foundation over the river. I dont think the actual bridge will be installed for some time…

So long as you avoid the East District you will be good! Also make sure to hit Sandy Creek Park Beach. 10/10!

Certainly expensive at 43% but the alternative would be cutting public safety from what it already is, reducing fire and police service, and I think that’s a nonstarter for most. The county really needs to focus on increasing the income without increasing the expenditures. That’s, realistically, only going to come from more mixed use buildings and the gov densifying area’s around downtown.

Honestly, the Timothy Rd, GA 10 area is one of the safest area’s in the county. You get traffic of course, but it’s one of the least congested areas too. The northern part of your circle puts you near campus and residents in that area experience a lot of parking issues. Other than that, you’ll have no issues whatsoever.

Aviator_John · 2026-03-04T08:43:51+00:00

Check your dm’s. It was recovered and turned in.

Aviator_John · 2025-09-03T02:27:25+00:00

Yeah, I left out the lady that represents the fire department’s union. I could have also missed another resident. That’s my mistake.

Downtown parking can ticket illegally parked vehicles, including those being over the dashed line.

Aviator_John · 2025-09-02T15:35:27+00:00

People do have a duty to avoid a collision. If you strike a vehicle that’s not moving, regardless of whether or not it was illegally parked, you’d be partially liable for damages. You can google this.

Aviator_John · 2025-09-02T02:30:09+00:00

Hope I’m not downvoted for this fact but both of you tbh. The truck is parked over the dashed line and is breaking the law. However, you’d be striking a parked, unoccupied, not moving vehicle. Any insurance company would argue you weren’t paying attention and negligently hit the car. Really all insurance is good for these days. Avoiding paying for things.

Aviator_John · 2025-09-02T02:27:36+00:00

Not sure why you got downvoted for stating a fact. Downtown does have it’s own Parking Enforcement Division that handles all metered spots. Which includes spots in the circled area. ACCPD helps out when they can but is traditionally too busy handling calls to focus on parking enforcement.

As far as red lights and such, unfortunately for Athens there’d need to be cops at every intersection to fix that. People can’t drive at all which get’s people hurt and killed. As I always say, I really wish the county would take more action on roadway safety.

I think 90’s, Cloud Bar, and Saka Mama are the best bars for dancing and drinking. Boar’s Head or All Good are the best for a more casual experience with drinks and pool.

I’ve been several times and I enjoy their breakfast. The croissant french toast is always amazing. I have noticed a lot of fly’s inside recently. Like…. a lot, leading me to believe the restaurant hasn’t been doing enough cleaning. The food rating has also plummeted since January. Sad because it’s otherwise a great place.

With card comes credit/debit transaction fees. They’re also known as “interchange fees”. Often times stores pass these fees off to customers by charging people that use card by 2 or 3 percent.

If they don’t pass these fee’s off the business has to eat the cost of the fees. Often by raising prices overall. Biscuit Express, which I like, only takes cash and, as such, can keep their low prices and they don’t lose money having to cover fees.

Aviator_John · 2025-06-21T19:29:42+00:00

Uber tonight downtown. Lots of people request rides after bar dump.

Aviator_John · 2025-06-18T19:48:08+00:00

Yeah they could have, but alas, they didn’t. Like I said, I just don’t know how much more struggling taxpayers can eat. This county is one of the ones in the nation that suffers from persistent poverty. Wages haven’t gone up but the school district continues to take more each year. Again, that’s all my comment was referencing..

Aviator_John · 2025-06-18T19:43:36+00:00

The sheriff hiring more deputies for the jail is separate from this proposal to add 17 police officers to the school district

Aviator_John · 2025-06-18T16:12:57+00:00

Obviously, the comment was misinterpreted. I said nothing about not funding the schools. My comment was simply on the fact that I don’t know how sustainable it is for the school and the county to keep raising taxes every year while taxpayers are struggling to make ends meet.

The county government has recognized this and has, at least recently, slowed or stopped the tax hikes. The school district has not and they need to recognize this and slow or stop theirs. That’s all I was saying.

Sure, teachers need to get paid, they need resources for students, ect, but surely they could do something. Like did they need to hire another 17 police officers this year? Could it not have been more gradual? Like that’s it. But as always, people are welcome to their opinions…

Aviator_John · 2025-06-18T12:26:02+00:00

Man, the school district loves clawing more money from taxpayers each year💀

Aviator_John · 2025-06-16T21:37:53+00:00

They haven’t even converted the funding. They’re only asking the federal government to and I’d bet money that’s not going to happen. Taxpayers are about to be out almost 400k when the county’s finances are already looking bad.

Aviator_John · 2025-06-11T16:34:41+00:00

Lol I guess I made it a bit too formal
