Just about everyone who uses Woodruff Road is excited about the new by-pass that should be opening this summer and will hopefully help some of the traffic issues. But, not everyone is excited about the roadway's name.
It was originally called the "PNG Connector" since the non-developed road was used by Piedmont Natural Gas for its trucks to access one of their sites. Then it was simply refered to as the "Woodruff Road Bypass." Then, the name "Connector Parkway" was floated.
The road, which will connect Verdae Boulevard with Woodruff Industrial Lane, will have 3 roundabouts instead of traffic lights in order to slow down traffic. It is also being developed with a 10 foot wide path for pedestrians and bicyclists that will connect to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
