City of South Fulton hosts next transit plan meeting

The next meeting for the Fulton County transit plan is set for the city of South Fulton.

The next meeting for the Fulton County transit plan is set for the city of South Fulton.

Fulton County officials want to create a transit proposal for the county outside the city limits of Atlanta. Residents passed a transportation tax increase last year that will pay for road, bridge and pedestrian improvements over the next five years. Expanding transit is the county’s next priority.

Already, consultants have been to College Park, Mountain Park, Union City, Chattahoochee Hills and Roswell and Milton, to hear what kind of transit residents hope to see. They also want to know what residents don’t want. The next meetings is scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 1 at South Service Center, 5600 Stonewall Tell Road in the city of South Fulton. Subsequent meetings are set for East Point in August and the city of Palmetto in the fall.
