Transit / Roads How should Fulton County spend local chunk of transportation-tax cash?
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 12:40 PM
Should voters approve the regional transportation tax on July 31, 15 percent of the revenues will be divvied up among local governments to spend on their local transit, sidewalk, bicycle, and road needs. And Fulton County officials want your help in decided how they should use that cash in unincorporated parts of the county.
Fulton officials will hold meetings next week and in mid-July to gather input about how to use its portion, which is estimated at $29 million over ten years (PDF). From the county:
* Tuesday, June 26, 6:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. - Cliftondale Community Center, 4645 Butner Road, College Park
* Thursday, June 28, 6:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. - Burdett Park, 2945 Burdett Park, College Park
* Tuesday, July 10, 6:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. - Southwest Library, 3665 Southwest Library, Atlanta
* Thursday, July 12, 6:30 p.m. - 8: 30 p.m. - Renaissance Middle School, 7155 Hall Road, Fairburn
Atlanta officials earlier this month released the city's project list, which includes multi-use trails between parks and a plethora of streetscape improvements which would comply with Complete Streets guidelines.
