-With environmental concerns about a mine found on the Rollins' property just about settled, Jeff Lewis of the State Transportation Board says the 411 Connector is "going forth as planned." But he also expects a federal court battle with the Rollins' family as their efforts continue to push the path from their land. Lewis, a former state House member, was a guest on Tuesday's Hometown Headlines Radio Edition on WRGA 1470 AM. He says he thought, as a young House member in the '90s, that the project would be completed by the early 2000s. But now, much of the preliminary work is done and he predicts right-of-way negotiations will begin soon, perhaps triggering the expected suit. Lewis declined to predict when the road might open, citing the legal battle and overall funding.
-Lewis recently spoke to members of the Coalition for the Right Road, a movement heavily supported by the Cookerly Public Relations firm hired by the Rollins family. The group this month hiked part of the intended connector route. CORR
