Cara sends along MARTA’s official response to our May 9th posting regarding the Clifton Corridor proposal which would basically bypass Decatur entirely…

MARTA Continues to Review Transit Expansion Plans for Clifton Corridor

Community Encouraged to Continue Providing Input

On May 9, 2013, a posting on Decatur Metro discussed MARTA’s ongoing work with the community to review a variety of alignment options for the Clifton Corridor expansion project. MARTA would like to clarify some of the information included in the story to ensure the public has an accurate understanding of the project as we continue to work together to implement transit service that will effectively serve this heavily congested corridor.

First and foremost, no final decisions have been made about whether or not to change the alignment approved as part of the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). As we have continued to study the challenges and opportunities in the Corridor, some community concerns, environmental considerations and financial impacts have led us to propose alternative alignments to Corridor stakeholders and community members. We will continue to meet with the Clifton Corridor Committee, our elected officials and the community prior to making any final recommendations on the LPA to the public and the MARTA Board of Directors.

My name is Malika Whitley, I’d be so appreciative if you could post an alert for Charlotte–she’s been missing since Saturday morning when she ran down N. Decatur Rd. towards Clairmont Rd. (Her home is between Clairmont and Scott Blvd.) We’ve searched the neighborhood and posted flyers, maybe someone here will recognize her?

Charlotte is a brown and white pit-bull mix. She’s very friendly and intensely missed. If anyone sees her they can call 404-889-9432 or if they don’t have access to a phone or my number at the time, please feel free to take her to a nearby vet or kennel to be scanned for her microchip.

We hope to see Char soon, thanks so much!!

Decatur High graduation is this coming Friday.  Macarolina writes in…

Graduation time makes me think of the great teachers who have touched my life. Perhaps a post asking readers about their most impactful teachers would be timely?
