Atlanta infrastructure vote set for March 17 (2015, construction, centers)

[Airforceguy]

The Atlanta City Council Monday set March 17 as the date for a referendum on a $252 million bond issue for infrastructure improvements across the city.
Voters will be asked to approve two separate bonds. The larger of the two – $187.9 million – would go toward transportation-related projects, including roads, bridges, sidewalks, streetlights, traffic signals, signage and bicycle lanes.
A second $64.1 million bond would finance construction and renovation of municipal buildings, including recreation centers.

Wow, that was faster than I expected. I didn't expect a vote until the Summer or the Fall.

To steal a quote from arjay, "Wow, Atlanta's on fire!"

Will they vote for it or will they get...pinched?

I glad to see them break out into two separate bonds!

Anyone make the case for what the "municipal buildings" bond will cover and why we should vote for it? If I remember from the meetings, the biggest building project on the list was an indoor pool that they wanted to completely rebuild for millions and millions of dollars.
