Kuvaus

Larry Johnson in southwest Atlanta noticed how eerily quiet his neighborhood became during I-285 weekend closures—and it reminded him of lockdowns, when the silence made home life feel better. That peace sparked a campaign for sound barriers, but he’s running into stiff resistance from the Georgia DOT, which imposes strict rules: projects must add capacity or radically alter the road, prove at least 7 decibels of noise reduction, and cost under $110K per household. Even then, utility conflicts or resident pushback can derail things. Many communities, especially older ones, live near highways they didn’t choose—balancing taxpayer dollars with quality of life is tough. Congresswoman Nikema Williams’ 2022 “Negating Neighborhood Noise Act” aims to unlock federal funding, but it’s stalled in Congress. Johnson’s neighborhood is now in the running thanks to the I-285 Express Lanes project—but the process remains long, complex, and easily derailed. It’s clear the rules need tweaking to help more people finally get some peace and quiet. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Ellijay Water Advisory Update | Atlanta News

Boil water alert in parts of Ellijay, Georgia—after a ruptured water main caused low pressure, officials are urging residents to boil or use bottled water for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and pet care. Affected areas include Progress Road, Dogwood Drive, Poplar, Pine, Maple, Merk Davis, Soccer Field, and Casey Drive in Yukon. Water must be boiled for one minute and cooled before use; dishes and laundry are still safe. Advisory remains until tests confirm safety—then run faucets for two minutes before using water again.
