TDOT shuts down East Ridge on Thursday with absolutely no warning, no detours, and not safety in mind.  TDOT has hijacked Tombras, McBrien, and Moore during the busiest time of day on a very busy day of the week.  These are actual TDOT employees from what I can tell too because their trucks say TDOT and all the workers are wearing spotless new safety vests standing around doing nothing. 

How is this allowed to happen by the City of East Ridge?  Right now, no access to Food Lion.  Detours through Stanley Heights’ church property.  Absolutely dangerous driving conditions out there and the citizens and leaders of East Ridge need to have a talk with TDOT now and get back control of our streets.

Best I can tell from this work, all were are getting is a new sidewalk with no new signage or greenspaces.  Just sidewalks for foot travel back and forth from the Budgetel.
