Mr. Lafayette Jones asked if priority Number <br />Two on the list would continue .to be the improvements planned for Fayette Street, and was told that this <br />priority would continue in its present status. Ms. Gloria Hylton asked if a connector road to Route 57, <br />running behind the Wal-Mart facility on Memorial Boulevard, which had been discussed in previous <br />years, was still under consideration. She was informed that although it was considered a worthwhile <br />project it would have to be prioritized by Henry County, since it was outside the City. Ms. Hylton stated <br />that she had additional information that would reinforce the need for this connector, and Council Member <br />Haskell stated that staff should receive this information from Ms. Hylton. Mr. Reynolds stated that he <br />would do so.
