MARTA in Gwinnett? Speak out Tuesday
As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Gwinnett County is hosting a series of public hearings to gather public input as it plans for its long-term transportation needs. But consensus on the role of mass transit in Gwinnett's future may prove elusive. At a recent hearing, conflicting opinions on mass transit like MARTA were on full display.
It’s not too late to have your own say on mass transit and other Gwinnett transportation issues. The next chance will come Tuesday night in Snellville.
Here’s a list of the upcoming public hearings:
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Snellville City Hall Council Chambers, 2342 Oak Road SW, Snellville.
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 18 at the Dacula Park Activity Building, 2735 Old Auburn Ave., Dacula.
