Speak Out: Should the Ga. 400 Tolls Come Down?

Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

A Roswell man is hoping to inspire a grassroots effort to get rid of the Ga. 400 tolls that were extended two years ago by the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA), reports Channel 2.

Officially completed in 1993, the Ga. 400 tolls were supposed to end in 2011, but the SRTA voted to extend them until 2020. Now Roswell resident Garland Favorito wants Gov. Nathan Deal to make good on a promise to bring down the "Buckhead Wall" and end the toll, which he said now pays for projects other than Ga. 400, as previously reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution's PolitiFact.

The AJC reports that Favorito will hold a press conference in July to deliver a petition to the governor.
