WIth a cool $700 million allocated to the Clifton Corridor line from LaVista to N. Decatur/Clairmont (or Avondale Station) in the proposed Transportation tax project list, the future is brighter than ever for this transit line!  (admittedly it wasn’t all that bright to begin with…)

Now, that big price-tag and/or the prospect rail to Emory may have gotten your attention, but you may be thinking, “You know, I care about “transit” and I want people to know what I think because, gosh darn it, people like me!  But dinner’s not going to cook itself/I can’t just skip out of work!/ I can’t leave my kids at home alone!  What do I do?”

Well, here’s the answer for you overworked, stressed out, likable folks.

The Clifton Corridor Transit Initiative has posted a narrated presentation on its website that brings you up to speed faster than a high-speed rail project can burn through a billion dollars.  (Sorry, “faster than high-speed rail!” sounded too corny, even for me.)  What are the differences between “heavy rail”, “light rail” and “bus rapid transit”?  It’s all in there!

This is the second of two presentations that CCTI has produced for the interwebs, however its the first time they’ve also included an online survey at the end of the presentation!  So now you can be informed AND let the world (or at least the three project managers listed at the end of the presentation) know what you think about this whole transit from Lindbergh to Emory/Decatur thingy.

Go and survey responsibly!
