No apology necessary. I can tolerate some inconvenience for all the improvements being made.

The local roads are not prepared to carry the additional traffic and the speed of the stadium construction vs how long it would take to upgrade the roads. CCDOT knows roads will be over capacity and gridlocked.

I agree. You can't do construction without, you know, doing construction.

Agree, some local roads are going to be affected during construction of this magnitude, it happens. He doesn't need to apologize.

It's the commissioners who should apologize for secretly committing tax payer resources for the very unsound move of the Braves to an already over burdened area that in no way can accommodate the additional Braves traffic even with the changes happening.
