MARTA HOSTS PUBLIC FORUMS TO PROVIDE UPDATE ON CLIFTON CORRIDOR TRANSIT INITIATIVE PROJECT
ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit
Authority (MARTA) will host three public forums to provide updates on the
Clifton Corridor Transit Initiative Project, in-person on Feb. 13 and 18 and
virtually on Feb. 16.
MARTA is
studying bus rapid transit (BRT) and light rail transit (LRT) along the Clifton
Corridor, within the City of Atlanta, unincorporated DeKalb County, and the
City of Decatur, that will provide a high-capacity transit connection between
two existing heavy rail lines.
The
project could connect the Lindbergh Center Station to the Decatur or Avondale
Stations along a rapidly developing residential, institutional, and mixed-use
corridor. Key destinations include Emory University, Emory University Hospital,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Children’s Healthcare of
Atlanta - Egleston, and Atlanta VA Medical Center.
