Citywide Conversation: Environmental Assessment Update

Join us for a “Citywide Conversation” to learn about the environmental process to provide input on the routes we are considering for transit! In this meeting you will learn about and provide input into the transit route options in designated areas along the eastside of the Atlanta BeltLine corridor and in the downtown & midtown areas. We will also discuss MARTA connectivity options as well as learn about the overall transit system plan and next steps. We hope you will join us and spread the word to your neighbors.

What is a Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU)

Established in 1974 by Mayor Maynard H. Jackson, the NPU enables citizens to comment, express ideas and get information concerning all functions of Atlanta City government.  The NPU, a citizen advisory council, makes recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on issues including zoning, land use and future planning.
