On Nov. 30, 2015, Madison Athens-Clarke Oconee Regional Transportation Study (MACORTS) held a public hearing at the Community Center in Veterans Park in Oconee County on a technical issue, namely the removal of the widening of U.S. 441 from Watkinsville to Madison County from MACORTS road projects. The Georgia Department of Transportation had asked MACORTS to take this action so the project could be shifted from federal to state funding. Sherry McDuffie, planner at MACORTS, introduced the technical issue, but members of the audience had concerns about the implications of the change and of the project more generally. This video is of that discussion. It begins after McDuffie asks for questions on the MACORTS action. The video was shot by Sarah Bell.
