Officials are meeting this week to determine wheter they will keep the toll booths on GA 400 in North Metro Atlanta when the bonds are paid off in 2011.
When the toll booths were installed almost twenty years ago I remember telling a friend of mine they will never take those booths down, even though by law they are supposed to in 2011.
Now they say they needto keep the tolls going because there are other road projects to do, many of which have nothing to do with GA 400 and its use.
Why should those that use GA 400 be forced to pay for projects all over Fulton County? The toll booths should come down in 2011, or at the very least a vote should be put to the people to see if they want the toll money to be used for future road projects. And if approved they should be used for projects that help make GA 400 a better highway and take away some of the congestion that plagues this road every day.
