The Department of Transportation is sending $10 million to the metro Atlanta area in a federal effort to prevent traffic deaths. The money will be used specifically for enhancements at the Georgia-400 interchange and Lenox Road in Buckhead. Officials say the area alone has experienced over 1,000 vehicle crashes in just three years. Some of the improvements will include a separate shared-use path and an elevated pedestrian and bicycle bridge. Speaking to Good Day Atlanta's Alyse Eady and Ron Gant Secretary of Transport.
