Cobb County Commission chairman writes Op-ed in AJC

Cobb County Commission Chairman Sam Olens writes an Op-ed for the AJC about transportation solutions for Atlanta. Funny, he does not mention cycling once.

"The solution to our traffic congestion is not one grandiose and costly (tunneling is estimated to cost $25 billion) silver bullet under downtown Atlanta. Let a private contractor come forward and build the tunnel at their own risk with tolling. In the meantime, we must aggressively expand our transit and express bus service, construct a region-wide system of managed lanes and truck-only lanes and more closely link transportation and land-use planning."

How about more biking lanes?
