POLL: Will T-SPLOST Improve Your Commute?
On July 31, you'll be able to vote in one of the metro area's largest transportation initiatives. It also comes with a $6.14 billion pricetag. We ask: Will it improve your commute?
In roughly two months, many North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch readers will be able to cast their vote for or against one of metro Atlanta's biggest transportation initiatives, one that comes with a $6.14 billion pricetag.
Several large projects would be headed for our community. There's the MARTA Clifton Corridor light rail of course. That's an interesting project. And a big chunk of the July 31 T-SPLOST referendum at $1.16 billion. There are also various road projects.
But there's been some question over whether T-SPLOST will improve traffic in the area. What do you think?
Take the poll below and explain your vote in the comments section.

The no votes are obvious. We have great commutes compared to the rest of the region. Even the work intended for Druid Hills Road (minor stretch) and the Emory train does nothing for the Druid/Briar Patch side. The exception is the possibility that anyone using the Perimeter will benefit from POTENTIAL help from the combo Gwinnett Train to Dora and work at 400--MAYBE helps clear Spaghetti.
