With the City of Savannah leaning green, as evidenced by the Thrive initiative, a test case presents itself. Project DeRenne could provide proof the City is willing to, “walk the talk,” as Mayor Johnson might say. On one side are community advocates, who want to protect neighborhoods and believe that streets should be community assets, not just pipes that move cars. On the other are motorists—many of whom decided to move from Savannah to the suburbs—looking to shave a couple minutes off their commutes.
The outcome will demonstrate which is the priority: community or cars?
