The
GRTA Northern Sub-Area Study to Host Open House Series
GRTA Invites the Public to Comment on Regional Development
ATLANTA
- Can traffic congestion in the northern portion of the metropolitan
Atlanta region be managed over the next 25 years? What kinds of
land use and transportation infrastructure will we need if we implement
the development plans of our cities and counties? Do regional
development principles actually meet the needs of the region?
The
Georgia Regional Transportation Authority's (GRTA) Northern Sub-Area
Study (NSAS) will provide the answers to these and similar questions
during a series of open house meetings in early February.
The
study has examined the potential impact of development according to each
of three alternatives over the next 25 years. Alternative One
focuses on the needs of the region based on the Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP). Alternative Two has a policy-based focus, building
from the principle outlined in the Regional Development Plan (RDP).
Alternative Three is based on the development plans of the cities and
counties in the sub area.
The
NSAS is studying what might occur if the region bounded roughly on the
south by I-285, the north by Georgia 20, the west by I-75 and the east
by I-85, were to develop over the next 25 years following each of these
alternatives. The information gained from the analysis of each of
the alternatives will be shared with the Atlanta Regional Commission
(ARC) and county and city planning agencies for various uses including
developing the 2030 RTP. The final report of the NSAS will be
delivered in May, and will include recommendations regarding the
implementation of each of the three alternatives being studied.
The
meetings will be held from 7-9:00 pm at the following locations:
