Brightstar Road Connector - Douglasville, Ga.

The Brightstar Road Connector, which connects Rose Avenue (at S.R. 5/Bill Arp Road) and Brightstar Road, was built by the City of Douglasville, at a cost of $2.6 million. The end of the connector enters unincorporated Douglas County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. The County (Board of Commissioners) wanted the City to install a traffic signal at Brightstar Road and Brightstar Road Connector. The City would've gone through with it, if the County would've gone 50/50; the County declined. So, Douglasville refused to do it; the County shut the road down. Douglasville then shifted traffic into their city limits, to have the road open for commuters.
