Road blocks mark Carter library route battle in Atlanta
The 2.4 mile Ex-Press Way to Jimmy Carter's library faces protests, arrests, and lawsuits. Opponents CAUTION Inc and The Road Busters challenge the project as plans proceed, with legal action by CAUTION and federal reviews ongoing. Carter backs a parkway he says protects neighborhoods while questions persist about traffic relief and land use. Public debate includes council ethics issues and road plans, with construction starting 1984 and a 1986 library opening targeted.
