A RESOLUTION
Designating the Keith Kalland Memorial Highway; and for
other purposes.
WHEREAS, Keith Kalland will be long remembered by Atlantans and the countless commuters who valued the daily traffic reports from this wonderful voice in the sky; and
WHEREAS, he was known as the "King of Alternates" given his extraordinary knowledge of all the possible roadways that drivers might use to avoid the tremendous traffic snarls confronting metro commuters at all hours of the day; and
WHEREAS, his wonderful wit and clever lines always seemed to ease the irritation of most drivers as they dealt with the "ubiquitous ladder in the road" hazards and the constant reminder that "You have all weekend to get home"; and
WHEREAS, in addition to his marvelous traffic reports, Keith was a dedicated volunteer for the March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy Association, and American Diabetes Association; and this very popular guy was a dear father to two very fortunate sons, Robbie and John, and he found time to give back to his community and state in many meaningful ways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the portion of I-20 South at Georgia Highway 138 South to Georgia Highway 20 South to Georgia Highway 212 be designated as the Keith Kalland Memorial Highway in memory of this highly respected traffic safety reporter, and the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to erect and maintain signs so designating the highway.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit appropriate copies of this resolution to the Kalland family and to the Commissioner of Transportation.
