The interstates were closed late Wednesday afternoon from the Atlanta airport to the Cobb Energy Centre, where GOP VP nominee Paul Ryan was appearing at a fundraiser.

Top Cobb officials announced Tuesday they want to "significantly" redirect potential TSPLOST funding for a proposed light rail station in the Cumberland area and construct reversible toll lanes in the Interstate 75/575 corridor.  The proposal by Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee, Kennesaw Mayor Mark Mathews, members of the Cobb legislative delegation and officials with the Atlanta Regional Roundtable backing next summer's TSPLOST effort comes a month after the Georgia Department of Transportation dropped plans for reversible lanes at the behest of Gov.

By the way, I think there should be additional ways to argue against an individual project once funding is found. The separated grade for Windy Hill at Cobb Parkway is unacceptable for the area because it will destroy the urban character. I'm considering voting against T-Splost just for that one project if funding will cause groundbreaking on it.   more ›
