If you have ever been to a “normal” city council or county commission meeting, you know that they generally like to ask the representative of the affected district before they vote on a matter affecting that district. The GDOT board appears to be working the opposite way, from reading this editorial in the Macon Telegraph. Apparently GDOT wants to build a giant interchange resembling Spaghetti Junction at I-75 and I-16.

The neighbors clearly don’t want this interchange, and it appears the GDOT board representative for the area doesn’t want it either. But at GDOT, they think they know better what we want than we do. “You don’t want that in your district? Fine. We’ll put it there anyway,” they say.

How do we stop this madness?
