Alternative Development Maps

[NEW] Potential Alignment Corridors: Includes the set of potential alignments refined from community input obtained during the Public Information Open Houses held on March 16th and 23rd. Alignments identified on the map that did not meet the purpose and need for the project were eliminated from further analysis. See the Alternatives Advancing to Screen I Analysis map below.

[NEW] Alternatives Advancing to Screen I Analysis: Identifies the three (3) surviving alignment corridors and couples each alignment with a viable transit technology. The map displays how bus rapid transit, light rail transit, or a hybrid of both light rail and heavy rail transit (heavy rail is only viable between Lindbergh Center and Clifton Road adjacent to the CSX freight line) might serve the study area.

Goals and Objectives: Details the relationship between identified problems and specific goals and objectives.

Existing Transit: Identifies existing MARTA rail, MARTA bus, and CCTMA shuttle services.

Peak Afternoon Levels of Service: Roadway segments shaded to indicate level-of-service (LOS) during the afternoon period between 3PM and 7PM. LOS A through F is a measure of delay experienced by drivers due to traffic volume relative to roadway capacity. LOS A means drivers experience no delay due to light traffic volume relative to roadway capacity. LOS F means drivers experience extreme delay and long waits at intersections.

Travel Zone Maps

To help facilitate discussion, the study area was paritioned into three travel zones. Each zone was intended to help focus attention on travel patterns occuring within the specific delineated area, and to help identify activity nodes that might be conducive to the development of a transit stop. The green or orange lines identified in the zone maps represent connections and transit stop locations discussed with the Stakeholder Advisory Committee and with attendees who participated in the Open Houses on March 16th and 23rd. Portions of streets or roads where participants felt widening for transit usage purposes might be problematic were identified as Areas of Concern on the map. Only lines drawn that fell within the study area travel zones are represented in each zone map. The Community Transit Connection Map in the next section represents all the ideas drawn in by members of the community.

Travel Zone 1: MARTA Red/Gold Line to Emory

Travel Zone 2: Emory to MARTA Blue Line

Travel Zone 3: MARTA Red/Gold Line to MARTA Blue Line (Includes areas outside of Travel Zones 1 and 2)

The connections were drawn by participants in the Open House events held on March 16th and 23rd. Tell us what you think about these connection opportunities. Did we miss something?
