Part of this plan would be extending Greenbriar Road northward into the <br />EDD to connect to US 70 southeast of I -85. The area south of the powerline is zoned mixed and <br />residential (and there are some wetland and stream issues) so putting a road through the current <br />alternate routes would be difficult from a planning perspective. <br />
