Tunnel for Ga. 400?

A new traffic study suggests that Ga. 400 be extended with a double-decked tunnel southward to help ease traffic congestion. It would be one of several tunnels in the proposal, which also includes a slew of new metro roads and $25 billion worth of highway toll lanes.

Are these good ideas? Are you willing to dig into your wallet to help pay for new projects? And what about tunnels?

Tribute to Gerald Levert

Stevie Wonder, Angie Stone, Johnny Gill and Angela Winbush plan to pay musical tribute to R&B singer Gerald Levert Nov. 17 at a public ceremony at the Cleveland Music Hall.

LeVert, 40, died Nov. 10 of a heart attack. The recording artist of two decades was the son of Eddie Levert of the legendary R&B group the O’Jays. And his father and his brother, Sean, are expected to perform a duet.

Levert’s publicist also announced that Levert had completed a new CD before his death, due in stores in February of next year. Levert was also completing a book with his father and author Lyah LeFlore titled “I Got Your Back,” about fatherhood and different relationships.

Tributes will continue Nov. 18 in Atlanta at “Wanda Smith & Friends” at the Atlanta Civic Center. Levert was scheduled to appear at the sold-out comedy show put on by V-103’s Smith, a longtime friend and fan.
