Atlanta Moving Foward on MARTA Expansion Plan

"Atlanta Moving Foward on MARTA Expansion Plan"
_Engineering News-Record_ - 3/22/2005

'Atlanta has taken a key step to add some 60 miles of new rail line and
highway lanes to its public transportation service under a plan passed
by transit officials Mar. 14.'

'The expansion, with estimated costs of up to $2 billion, has two major
components, an 18-mile spur along Interstate 20 to the east of the city
and a 40-plus-mile rail loop through Atlanta’s interior, dubbed “the
inner core.”'

'The Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and the community
have agreed upon a final plan for the I-20 east corridor. The project
now moves into an 18-month environmental study phase that is required
before construction could begin. The project will receive 50% of its
funding by the Federal Transit Authority.'

'“The I-20 east expansion will be an 18-mile fixed guideway bus-rapid
transit system,” says Thelma Purnell, director of transit system
planning for MARTA. The fixed guideway system consists of two new lanes
built solely for bus traffic at a cost of $400 million. MARTA intends
to eventually build a rail system to replace the bus lanes when demand
increases. “The bus system is a temporary, transitional solution,” says
Purnell.'

'The inner core is a rail system that will connect major sites in
downtown Atlanta. The details of the project have yet to be worked out,
but the project is expected to cost between $600 million and $1.5
billion. The MARTA board gave this project a priority. The vote marks
the beginning of a nine-month planning phase, during which MARTA will
develop several design possibilities. The city and MARTA will then
choose a plan together, says Purnell.'

'With half the inner coreÂ’s funding coming from the FTA, the remainder
will be raised locally, mostly though the creation of a tax allocation
district. The tax district will also be used to fund construction of
parks along the path of the rail, a plan called “the emerald necklace,”
says Purnell.'

 This reminds me, very eerily, of the Futuruma episode in which the Planet
Express Crew finds the lost city of "Atlanta" and find out they put it in
the ocean to bring in more tourists.....but notice that nowhere did they
acknowledge existence of MARTA in that episode...

interesting.

This will enable Atlanta to grow faster, as people travel to the end of
the 18-mile spur and then drive another 25 miles.
On weekends, they can drive in too.

 They must be trying to spur growth on that sleepy "Madison to Winder"
corridor.

MARTA is seriously considering the HOV/busway and the Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) alternatives, and they are to be commended for that.

This article was a surprise to me. I've heard talk about BRT on the north
side of town (285 on the "top end", I-75, I-75 and I-575, and GA 400) but
this is the first time I've heard of it being proposed on I-20

I had heard, extensively, about the 40 mile urban loop, which is commonly
being called the Beltline.

True. I wonder how much people do that for all that's theorized. They
have some huge P&R lots as it is.

Either way, thank god. That city plain needs a Star Trek teleporter.
To get there too. It's sicker to travel TO the city than to live there
I think.
