Here is another interesting article that I found to support my reasons for backing the TSPLOST (Now Is the Time to Fix Our Broken Infrastructure).

possibly, but if the projects are built & areas are still clogged, what next? Another vote?

Wow, check out these cool flyover maps for each of the corridors. You can really see how this will work for the whole region.

I hadn't check that map out in awhile.

I've overlooked that Rockbridge Road was on the improvement list. That is a road that needs to be widen in Central Dekalb. Way too small for the amount of traffic on it.

Rockdale doesn't get a lot out of the T SPLOST but I'm still voting for it.
