The top end project area covers I-285 from Cobb to DeKalb counties, and Ga. 400 from south of the Glenridge Connector to the North Springs MARTA station area. Meetings will have brief opening presentations followed by breakouts with team members. Information: https://bit.ly/2ITcfgW
No concepts will be shown, GDOT said, as these are still in development and will reflect community input to be taken at the meetings. Initial concept plans will be displayed at public information open houses to be held in early 2020. The project team will accept formal public comments at that time.
This month’s community forums “will be informational and offer the public more opportunities to learn about the project from representatives of the department and project team,” said Tim Matthews, manager of GDOT’s Major Mobility Investment Program.
