Partial transcript of interview re Interstate 3:
Richard Belcher (WSB-TV): “Conservationists say the
damage would be
irreparable.”
Gatins: “People in Atlanta need to wake up to the fact
that it is not just
being widened here [highway 441, where they are shown walking,
south of Clayton, Ga.]
but it’s [Interstate 3 would be] going to be widened
three times as wide right through their mountains.…”This
road [Interstate 3], wherever it goes, if it is ever built,
will destroy a way of life … will destroy the environment
that is of benefit and of joy ...to millions of Americans.”
Reporter: “The concept is interesting. It’d be
an easy way to move big
trucks through …. [unintelligible]. The tourist travelers
enjoy the
two-lanes.”
Bartlett: “...Noise, fumes and constant traffic. People
do not come here to
see interstates and Cracker Barrels and McDonald’s. They
come here for the
mountains, for the views, a chance to relax and get away.
If we’re building
roads all over the mountains, then there won’t be any
place to rest and get
away.”
