Budget Balloons * USA - For buses in I-85 project
State committed $36.5M but now figure is $123.9M
Atlanta,GA,USA -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, by Ariel Hart -February 18, 2010: -- Metro Atlanta hasn't seen bus fare like this... After the state originally committed to purchase $36.5 million worth of commuter buses and park-and-ride lots as part of the HOV toll lane project on I-85 in Gwinnett County, now that figure is $123.9 million, according to an official at the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority... Where the immediate project called for 36 buses, it involves 82 across the region... And park-and-ride lots will be built in Cherokee County and other metro spots for the project, not just Gwinnett... All of this rerouting of an expensive project during lean fiscal times has people pointing at others in explaining how it unfolded, but curiously little opposition...
