Barrow County’s engineering manager announced Tuesday night that the Georgia Department of Transportation has programmed funds to start building the West Winder Bypass in 2017. Darrell Greeson made the announcement during a presentation of an engineering contract to the Barrow County Board of Commissioners.

He told the Barrow Journal afterwards that GDOT has committed funding for right-of-way acquisition and construction of the first two of three phases of the project even if the regional referendum on a proposed penny sales tax for transportation does not pass in July.

For the full story, see the Feb. 29 issue of the Barrow Journal.

You have totally got to be kidding me, that is just stupid. The DOT slogan is "solving today's traffic problems in a decade near you". Seriously, that is the best they can do? Really?
They have to collect an extra $.01 cent tax on everything for five years first? Use that HOT TAX they collect money for using a road You & I ALREADY Paid for...
