The Cottage School in Roswell played host to a Department of Transportation open house discussing the possibility of adding lanes to GA 400.
Tuesday evening was a beautiful time for a walk, a bicycle ride or any other outside activity.

Hopefully, the DOT will immediately start work on a Kimball Bridge Road exchange next. That will save me some commuting time and hopefully develop more of Kimball Bridge Road area next to 400. That area is an eyesore compared to the rest of the community. more ›
