Transportation Penny Tax Hearing Tonight at Atlanta City Hall

Atlanta residents can review the Atlanta Regional Roundtable's Investment Act proposal and offer feedback at a public hearing 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 55 Trinity Ave.

On Sat., Oct. 15, the ARR's "draft final project list" will become a "final-final project list," setting in stone those projects that would be funded should voters approve the proposed regional transportation sales tax in 2012.

This month, the ARR will be hosting meetings throughout the region to give voters a chance to review the projects slated for funding through the proposed regional transportation sales tax.

The first segment of each meeting will be an open house where you can actually "see" projects from the draft list on maps and display boards.

The second segment is Q&A time with a panel moderated by The Civic League and featuring planners who can answer the questions that are most important to residents.

Finally, throughout the evening, staff will be on hand to answer questions one-on-one and enter your comments directly into the public record. Meetings run through 29.

If you cannot attend Thursday's meeting, you can attend another meeting near you. For more information about Thursday's meeting, see the interactive map for the ARR development proposal or call 404-330-6030.
