Traffic Light Dedication

Following the critical injury of Chris Land, in October 2005 while riding his motorcycle at the intersection of Kimball Bridge and Buice Roads, the local community joined forces to make this intersection safer. On February 23 the efforts of the community were rewarded when the Fulton County Government, in conjunction with the Cities of Alpharetta and Johns Creek, held a dedication to commemorate the improved intersection. The intersection has now been widened, sidewalks have been added and a stoplight has been installed to improve safety. Chris Land and his family were in attendance along with friends, extended family and neighbors. Also in attendance were speakers:

• Mayor of Alpharetta, Arthur Letchas
• Mayor of Johns Creek, Mike Botker
• Fulton County Commissioner, Lynne Riley
• Alpharetta Community Activist, Dick Freeman
• Alpharetta City Councilman, Douglas DeRito
• Alpharetta Public Safety Chief, Gary George
