The Clifton Corridor Alternatives Analysis involves investigating the need for high-capacity transit connections between the Lindbergh Center/Armour Yard area in north-central Atlanta to Clifton Road employment centers and the City of Decatur in west-central DeKalb County.

To assist LLCC in evaluating the proposed project\'s direct impact on our community and its compatibility with our own long-term vision, we enteredinto a contract with the Perkins +Will design firm. We\'re pleased to have Senior Transportation Planner, Heather Alhadeff, providing additional analysis.

Ms. Alhadeff has been hired to help as an adviser to work on behalf of the concerned residents and businesses of Lindridge-Martin Manor, LaVista Park, Woodland Hills, and Morningside-Lenox Park, the Cheshire Bridge Business node and the Zonolite Business node.

Her goals are to conduct the tasks listed below for each of the neighborhoods until the Alternatives Analysis study is finalized.

1. Provide facts and technical information about the project

2. Answer questions

3. Collect and share outstanding questions for MARTA and to provide their responses

4. Collect feedback, concerns, and ideas from residents to be compiled into an area-wide report to be shared with MARTA

In order to gain this public input, Ms. Alhadeff will lead a series of meetings in the surrounding neighborhoods.

The first meeting will be held on Sunday, August 28 beginning at 5:30pm, at the Woodland Hills home of Brian and Alyson Lapes located at 1401 Arnold Avenue NE MAP.

This was from LLCC.  It is strongly recommended that people take the time to fill out the survey.  LLCC needs to hear your feedback.

LLCC has hired Heather Alhadeff, Senior Transportation Planner at Perkins + Will, to assist our organization in providing constructive community feedback to MARTA as it conducts its Alternatives Analysis (AA) for the Clifton Corridor Transit Initiative.  Feedback from area residents and business owners will be compiled into an area-wide report to be shared with MARTA as it moves toward choosing the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for this study in mid October. It is LLCC's goal to present this community feedback in a clear and logical form so as to positively impact the process and project. You can help by taking a few minutes to complete the following survey.  This survey will be available to participants until October 1. The final results will be posted on the LLCC website.

This survey is a tool to identify improvements to the project IF it were to move forward. Your thoughts, whether for or against, are very helpful during this phase of planning.

Take this survey
Thank you for participating in our survey, as your feedback is very important to us.

Location: Torah Day School Gym 1985 Lavista Road

Description: We Want to Hear from You!
Please plan to attend our Station Area Planning and Alignment Workshop to learn more about the transit
alternatives proposed by MARTA for the Clifton Corridor, a busy travel area between Buckhead/Lindbergh
and Emory/Decatur. MARTA, in conjunction with the Clifton Corridor Transit Management Association
(CCTMA), has developed three alternatives to alleviate congestion along the corridor. These transit
alternatives involve connecting the Lindbergh Center and Avondale MARTA stations with either
bus rapid transit, light rail, heavy rail, or combinations of transit technology. All alternatives
provide service to the CDC and Emory University.
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. A brief introduction and instructions for the workshop will be presented
at 6 p.m. Then we will need your active input to plan station areas and alignment patterns.
Tell your friends, co-workers, classmates, and neighbors! When you attend these sessions,
you will become a transit planner, so come ready to work!
