DOT Lists Highway Priorities; Includes U. S. 27
The Georgia State
Trensportation Board approv
ed Thursday an anticngated
work Fro&am for the ol ‘liig‘a
tion of SIOO million in funding
for the Economic Development
Highwag System as provided
gy the General Assembly and
overnor Joe Frank Harris.
Of the alotted SIOO million,
S4O million will go toward the
completion of the Agpalachian
Development Highway and
Corridor Z, and S6O million
toward other projects in the
firufiosed Development
ighway System.
““We chose those segments
of the entire Development
Highway System to work on
first,” DOT Commissioner
Tom Moreland said, ‘‘Which
would give the greatest return
to taxpayers in the areas of
traffic impact, safety and
development.”
The total amount for all
projects was $6.3 million for
engineering work, $11.7 million
for right-of-way, and $96
million for construction for a
total of sll4 million. ;
The preliminary program is
as follows:
* GOLDEN ISLES
PARKWAY — Engineering

Hawkinsville to Perry, rights
of-way acquisition between
County Road 177 to County
Road 576 in Graham, construc

Consumer-Oriented Insurance
Bills Await Governor’s Signature
Four consumer-oriented in
surance bills, sponsored by In
surance Commussioner Warren
Evans, now await Governor
Harris' signature.
One of the bills will extend
the FAIR plan, which was due
to expire Y)ec. 31, 1986. The
FAII? plan assures the
availability of fire insurance for
those who are unable to buy
homeowners policies and
similar coverages.
The secomf bill would re
quire group health insurance
plans to continue coverage for
rngny people who lose their
jobs.
The third bill assures com
mercial insurance buyers of
having at least 45 days to shop
for replacement coverage if
their insurance is cancelled,
non-renewed, or if their
premium is increased by more
than 15 percent.
The fourth bill expands the
Insurance Commissioner's
authority to require insurance
com%anies to write, on a iro
rata basis, coverages that they
choose not to write voluntarily.
Evans offered what he
described as a ‘‘thumbnail
sketch of the main thrust of
these bills'":
House Bill 1538: ‘‘The
FAIR plan law was designed to
make sure that everybody can
buy fire insurance to protect
their homes and property. In-

surance companies are often
reluctant to write insurance on
old houses, and houses on the
coast that are exposed to
unpsual weather hazards such
as' hurricanes. These are
understandable concerns, but
it meant that some people,
throu%)he no fault of their own,
were being denied coverl:g:
when they tried to insure t
homes.
Insurance companies still
have the right to decline to
write insurance on a Particular
piece of property if the risk
doesn’t meet their under
writing standards. However,
under the FAIR plan, an in
surance company that writes
property insurance in Georgia
must accept its pro-rata share
of risks that they, and other in
surance companies, do not
want to write voluntarily.
“The FAIR plan was set to
expire Dec. 31. We asked the
General Assembly to extend it
to Dec. 31, 1990, and they
voted to do so.”
House Bill 212: “Many Yeo
ple who lose their jobs also lose
their group health insurance. If
they don't have individual
heai,th insurance policies, and if
they aren't covered by
Medicare, they may find
themselves with no health in
surance at all. Even if they get
another job, there may be a gap
of coverage between the group

General Assembly’s passing
House Bill 212, many people
will be able to continue, for up
to three months, the health in
surance benefits they had
under their group policy. They
can also elect to convert their
firoup coverage to an in
ividual policy.”
HB 1503: ‘“‘Last year, as
more and more property and
casualty insurance cox:f)anies
ggt into financial difficuity, we
gan to hear more complaints
of people getting notices of
cancellation, non-renewal, or
large premium increases short

renewal. That put
policyholders at a disadvan

five them enough time to shop
or replacement coverage,
perhaps at lower premium
rates.

companies have to give 45 days

the company has to continue

Month
The Georgia State
Transportation Board passed a
resolution at its March
meetin%{naming April Super
Safek' onth in Georgia.
“April is the month we
begin to get out with our mow
ing equ%pment," DOT Commis
sioner Tom Moreland told the
Board. *‘Our maintenance and
construction crews are con
stantly workinF in and around
moving traffic, but they
become even more prevalent in
these dangerous areas in the
spri:fi when we begin our mow
ing along the roadways. We
would like gou to join with the
other 6,000 employees of the
department in emphasizing
personal safety through the
adogtion of this resolution.”
he DOT is constantly con
cerned with emgloyee safety
both in and out of construction
and maintenance work sites.
Although concentrated efforts
are made to warn the traveling
public when they are enterin.ns
a work site, the DOT has h
37 fatalities in these areas.
“Most of the deaths have
occurred from the motorinllg
public hitting our people while
they are performini work
alor:ig the roads,"” said Richard
Wade, risk manager for the
DOT,
The DOT hopes to increase
the safety of employees by
declaring April Super Safelt‘y
Month and making the public
aware of the importance of
slowing down and using extra
caution through construction
and maintenance sites.

MEMORIES OF PAM
Dec. 4, 1953 March 24, 1983
In early spring I seem to sense your presence everywhere,
It mingles with the morning dew and floats up on the still soft
air.
The butterflies that fly about all seem to sense it too.
They flit and glide and soar and dive performing just for you.
Each flutter of their fragile wings being memories so clear.
How you would run and dance and play like them when you
were here.
These memories so special stored in my mind and heart,
Will be a sweet reminder till earth I too depart.
