316 toll road idea not dead, after all

ATLANTA - State DOT officials say contrary to media reports Monday, quoting a DOT board member, a proposal to turn Georgia 316 into a toll road is not dead. And, board member Garland Pinholster has clarified his statements.<br> <br> Pinholster said that in response to a reporter's question about the deferral of the State Route 316 vote, he replied that it is his opinion that the proposal &#34;as it exists today&#34; - which includes the possibility of a toll road - &#34;will not move forward.&#34; <br> <br> Pinholster said, however, it could be &#34;brought ahead in a different form or in a different proposal.&#34; <br> <br> He added &#34;I have only one vote on the 13-member board, and I did not mean to imply that I was speaking for the whole board.&#34;<br> <br> <br>
