GA 400 shoulder lane - Take 2

ATLANTA -- Apparently, the new mode of cutting down on traffic congestion being used by the Department of Transportation looks to be a success. 

PHOTOS | Riding along the GA400 shoulder

After the first day of allowing commuters to utilize the southbound GA 400 emergency shoulder lane for regular traffic, DOT officials are pleased with the results. Officials surmise that they'll need to pay attention to the Northridge Road exit due to extra congestion, in that area. 

However, during the Tuesday morning commute the DOT will use electronic message boards to make sure everyone is clear of the flow of traffic.

Atlanta Public Schools slash $47 million from budget

Atlanta Public Schools slash $47 million from budget

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Public School system voted to slash $47 million from next year's budget, eliminating nearly 500 jobs including teachers, custodians and school bus drivers.

The board's decision came after hours of public testimony -- much of it opposed to the deep cuts school officials insist are necessary to balance the budget.

The superintendent's budget plan calls for eliminating 230 teachers, 90 custodians and 14 bus drivers.

A spokesman for the school system says they plan to replace the janitorial staff with contractors. The move is expected to save the district an estimated $3 million annually.

Additional cost-cutting measures include no raises this year for school system employees and two furlough days.
