Neighbors, business owners on Cascade Road fed up with years of construction
Neighbors and business owners along a busy corridor in southwest Atlanta just want to see the end to construction and detours. For over three years, more than two miles of Cascade Road have been under construction. 'We are watching our community slowly poisoned to death,' one neighbor said. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Business owners spoke out during a standing-room-only community meeting Tuesday night. 'I don't know if I can make it though the peak season because of construction,' one owner said. Neighbors have also complained about sections of the road already completed. Channel 2 Action News showed you video last month of the narrow lanes. After the sidewalks were widened for bikers and walkers, it left little room for cars, let alone buses, garbage trucks and emergency vehicles to pass each other. Atlanta City Councilmember Marci Collier Overstreet said the goal of the project was to slow down traffic and make it safe. Officials brought out two firetrucks last week to see if they fit side-by-side. 'The demonstration showed it was too narrow…100%," Overstreet said.

Overstreet said the city and organizations are trying to help businesses make it through. 'It is a long journey, going on way too long, and we'll all be better off once we're on the other side of this and it's buttoned up,' she said. Channel 2 Action News reached out to the Atlanta Department of Transportation, but officials did not give a hard date for the project's completion. Another council member mentioned the end of summer and Labor Day as the goal. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

‘I'm pretty hopeful': Expect Micah Parsons, Cowboys to eventually get deal done
'I'm pretty hopeful': Expect Micah Parsons, Cowboys to eventually get deal done Show Caption Hide Caption Will Anderson Jr. says Tyler Booker will make immediate impact in Dallas Will Anderson Jr. explains what the Dallas Cowboys are getting in his former Alabama teammate, Tyler Booker. Sports Seriously Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and star defensive end Micah Parsons had a discussion on the field at minicamp on Tuesday. The conversion was roughly 30 minutes, according to reporters on the ground in Dallas. The chat could be a positive sign a contract extension is forthcoming for the Cowboys star linebacker. 'I'm pretty hopeful,' Parsons told reporters on Tuesday. 'I understand that it's up to (Jerry Jones). He gives the green light on everything, so hopefully something is done by next month.' Parsons' representation hasn't had any contract extension talks with Jones as of publish time, a person with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The pass rusher is in the final year of his rookie contract. Unlike some of his peers across the NFL, Parsons attended minicamp despite not having a long-term contract in place, a good-faith gesture that a deal will get done eventually. MORE: Who is sitting out mandatory minicamp? Trey Hendrickson, list of NFL players There's reason to be optimistic a deal will be complete before the Cowboys kick off the regular season on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4. When negotiations do commence, the potential value of Parsons' deal is evident. The Cowboys standout is expected to become the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL. Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett currently holds that title, earning an annual average of $40 million. Both sides aren't concerned about the pace of negotiations, a person close to the situation told USA TODAY Sports, given that there's still time before the regular season gets underway. There's precedent of the Cowboys not completing deals until the start of the regular season. Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb agreed to terms on an extension in late August of last year, while quarterback Dak Prescott didn't get his mega-deal finalized until the day of the Cowboys' Week 1 game this past season. The fact that Parsons attended minicamp is a positive sign. Parsons told reporters he plans to show up to Cowboys training camp as well. Parsons is "hopeful" a deal will get done. The good news is it seems like a matter of when and not if. Jones has yet to call Parsons' representation and get the ball rolling on a lucrative extension, but the expectation is that he will in the near future.
