Another Garth Brooks Traffic Mess Could Be Avoided

The Taney County Commission will hold a public meeting next week to address traffic issues at the Thunder Ridge Nature Arena. Many fans sat in traffic for hours last weekend trying to get to the Garth Brooks concert because Highway 86 is just a two lane road.

The county commission wants to expand Highway 86 and create a sales tax to pay for it. The one percent community improvement district tax and the one per cent transportation tax would only be paid at Big Cedar properties.
