The project’s been in limbo for years as the county struggled to reach a design amenable to all parties. Former Commissioner Bob Ott, who used to represent the area, told the MDJ he’d held up the proposal several times because he disagreed with transportation officials on the appropriate scope.
“It came down to me and the community questioning the need for a project that was that extensive,” said Ott.

Why Oppose?
Small Business Threat: This project threatens local businesses, potentially forcing closures due to property acquisition and raised median limiting customer access.
Permanent Bottleneck: The design guarantees ongoing traffic congestion, trapping commuters and harming the local economy.
Lengthy Construction: Endures over two years of disruptive construction, impacting nearly 40,000 daily commuters and jeopardizing businesses.
Residential Risks: Increased traffic through neighborhoods endangers children and pets.
Misplaced Priority: There are more critical intersections in Cobb that demand attention. This project is not urgent and lacks proper safety justification.
Take Action Now! Email Commissioners and DOT Director Drew Raessler to voice your
opposition and demand removal from future agendas.

Cobb is proposing to implement a monthly rain tax through code changes. These code changes have draconian measures such as placing leans on your home if you don't pay, and Cobb is pushing much of the stormwater infrastructure off to residents and HOA to maintain while Cobb County diverts most of the stormwater money into the general fund to waste.
RAIN TAX Meetings:
The rain Tax was tabled. Chair Cupid is to be brought back for a vote in August 2024.
