Neighborhood Opinion Survey—Tell Us What You Think Periodically, NBCA asks residents how they feel MARTA’s role in North Buckhead about current issues. This issue we’re asking Last fall, Atlanta voters approved a 40-year about two topics that we haven’t explored in sales tax increase to fund improvements to much detail: The Park Over 400 proposal and MARTA within the city limits. Some are excited MARTA’s role in North Buckhead. about this initiative helping to address one of Park Over 400 the city’s biggest problems: traffic. Others wonder if North Buckhead will see any benefits This is a proposal approved in a 4-3 vote by the Buckhead Community Improvement District at all. We want to explore your thoughts about (BCID) board for a new park. It would be a MARTA. Would you ride MARTA if the “last mile” issues in North Buckhead were addressed? Or, major gathering space built in the space above GA 400. It would be big, extending north-south is there nothing that you can think of that would get you on a MARTA bus or train? half a mile between Lenox Road and Peachtree Road. It would be very expensive; cost Our October 2017 Opinion Survey includes these estimates mention amounts around a quarter of two topics as well as others that may concern a billion dollars! Most people wonder who’s you. The survey is being announced both in this going to provide that kind of money (and hope newsletter and by email. If you don’t get it by it’s someone else).
