Hapeville hosts transit master plan meetings

At the request of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the cities of Fulton County outside of the city of Atlanta, the Atlanta Regional Commission, in partnership with Fulton County, is developing a Fulton County Transit Master Plan. The master plan will include review of each city’s community and economic development strategies, analysis of existing transit services and needs, and development of a financial model to determine the potential for expanded transit services within Fulton County.

Two rounds of public meetings will be held to provide information and gather public input. The first round of public meetings will focus on each city’s plans for the future, the potential role of transit within that vision, and public needs and desires related to transportation and transit. A second round of public meetings will be held in the fall to review the community vision, summarize the transit market analysis and needs, and provide an overview of existing and potential transit services.

The city of Hapeville will host a first meeting 6 p.m. July 25 at the Hapeville Courthouse at 700 Doug Davis Dr. to gather input from citizens and property owners. This is an opportunity for the community to affirm their community vision and the potential role of transit in helping realize that vision.
