MARTA will hold three northside public meetings this month as part of its Connect 400 transit initiative, which is heading to the next phase of planning under the federal environmental review process. The transit agency will be working on finalizing its environmental impact statement and project evaluation.
The agency wants feedback on its so-called Locally Preferred Alternative, a heavy-rail northward expansion of its Red Line that now terminates at the North Springs station. The line would cross to the west side of Ga. 400 south of Spalding Drive, back to the east side north of the Chattahoochee River, and terminate at Windward Parkway.
All three meetings will last from 6:30-8 p.m. and will be held: Tuesday at the North Fulton Service Center, 7741 Roswell Road #104 Sandy Springs; Thursday (April 16) at Georgia State University, Alpharetta, 3775 Brookside Parkway; and April 30 at East Roswell Park, 9000 Fouts Road, Roswell.
