MARTA is proposing a light rail line to serve the busy Clifton Road Corridor, home to Emory University, the CDC and the Atlanta VA hospital, among others. At a recent information session for residents, citizens were cautiously receptive to the project, which would run from the Lindbergh MARTA rail station southeast along Clifton to the Avondale station. If anything, the consensus wanted to see more tunneling near residential neighborhoods. Today, a MARTA planner writes about the project, while a second contributor protests the transit agency’s plan for a rail extension from the North Springs station to north Fulton County.
