A Monday meeting of representatives of the cities of Dunwoody and Sandy Springs, the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts and the Council for Quality Growth produced agreement that a coordinated approach is needed to encourage transit-oriented development in the Central Perimeter.
The participants agreed to explore such possibilities as alternative forms of transportation, the possibility of more and denser housing development close to transit stations and stops, and better-designed zoning in the area which is plays host to 123,0000 workers in a 4-square-mile area on weekdays.
Sandy Springs spokeswoman Sharon Kraun says staffers representing the four agencies who met Monday will work together on formulating proposals during the next 30 to 45 days, and will fold MARTA and the Georgia Department of Transportation into the discussions.
