Answered: 29 Skipped: 107 # Responses Date 1 Pitts Pitts 1/15/2013 3:03 PM 2 This would need to be modelled to determine the balance between patronage at each stop, and on the other 1/15/2013 9:22 AM hand overall trip time from outer stations to downtown or other destinations. Unless of course MARTA were to introduce fast trains not stopping everywhere. 3 None No. 1/14/2013 11:52 AM 4 Pitts Pitts 1/11/2013 10:55 PM 5 Old Milton Windward Old Milton and Windward 1/11/2013 7:16 AM 6 Pitts Mansell Old Milton Eliminate Pitts, Mansell and Old Milton. Unneccessary. Save our money! 1/11/2013 6:52 AM 7 Pitts Maybe Pitts? 1/11/2013 5:45 AM 8 Mansell North Point Northpoint Mall or Mansell. I would think the most logical location is the park and ride 1/10/2013 7:28 PM at Mansell from a cost standpoint. 9 Holcomb Bridge Holcomb Bridge cuz it is already too congested. 1/10/2013 7:57 AM 10 Mansell Mansell due to its proximity to North Point 1/10/2013 7:52 AM 11 Pitts Pitts? 1/10/2013 7:24 AM 12 North Point Old Milton The access points between Mansell Road and Windward Parkway seem 1/10/2013 6:24 AM excessive. All of these locations are easy to get to and within minutes of each other. I think the Mansell Road location could be eliminated with the location of Northpoint Mall. Old Milton Parkway, and Windward parkway. I would have suggest Old Milton as well but understand that Gwinnett College is building a campus on the south side of Milton and significant retail on the north. 13 None No 1/6/2013 1:19 PM 14 None None 1/3/2013 12:05 PM 15 Pitts Pitts 12/26/2012 1:37 PM 16 None No 12/25/2012 12:48 AM 17 Pitts Pitts 12/24/2012 6:53 PM 18 None While not all seem immediately useful, I am sure they will be very useful in the future; might as well 12/20/2012 1:25 PM plan for it now and be proactive rather than reactive. 19 Holcomb Bridge Roswell is diligently trying to clean up the area. The proposed stop at Holcomb Bridge 12/18/2012 6:35 AM would be right in the middle of a failing shopping area. The only thing this access point would facilitate is selling of that land at extremely reduced rates in order for the current land owner to step away. The lower prices for the land and need for improvement will most likely allow for the development of low housing and more apartments. We do not need this in Roswell. 20 None no 12/18/2012 6:09 AM 21 Mansell Drop Mansell, go from Holcomb Bridge to Encore Parkway 12/18/2012 4:45 AM 22 Pitts Pitts Station 12/17/2012 6:51 AM 23 Pitts Pitts should be dropped 12/12/2012 9:57 PM 24 Pitts Instead of Pitts consider Northridge 12/12/2012 7:06 PM 25 Pitts Pitts 12/12/2012 4:26 PM 26 Pitts Pitts. Can just head right down to North Springs on Peachtree-Dunwoody. Skip Pitts & leave some 12/12/2012 3:59 PM future access points & leave to be able to add that station in the future should demand warrant. 27 None none 12/12/2012 3:34 PM 28 None No 12/12/2012 1:29 PM 3 / 38 Connect 400 Alternatives # Responses Date 29 None None 12/11/2012 5:35 PM 4 / 38 Connect 400 Alternatives Q4 Are there any potential access points that should be included?

Main purpose should be to alleviate congestion along 400 corridor into the Perimeter area, 1/10/2013 7:28 PM Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown and the Airport. I don't see the need for the light rail and other bus options. Don't move enough people and side streets must be updated first. 8 North Point Mall 1/10/2013 7:57 AM 9 Northridge Northridge Road 1/10/2013 7:24 AM 10 None No. The point of the rail is to provide consistent service that out performs trip times for the 1/10/2013 6:24 AM automobile. I work downtown and the more stops means more delays. The only way I would consider riding this is if trip times are consistent, reliable, and improve my commute. 11 None No 1/6/2013 1:19 PM 12 Northridge Northridge station 1/6/2013 12:58 PM 13 Northridge Northridge 1/4/2013 8:42 AM 14 Outside of Area Continue the line north to Cumming. 1/3/2013 8:31 PM 15 None None 1/3/2013 12:05 PM 16 Northridge Northridge Road 12/26/2012 1:37 PM 17 Yes 12/25/2012 12:48 AM 18 Northridge Closer to Northridge Rd 12/24/2012 6:53 PM 19 Northridge I think personally that the Pitts access point should be replaced with an access point at 12/23/2012 12:05 PM Northridge Road as there is more current development and opportunity for development in the Northridge/400 area. 20 Outside of Area Extend HRT to Exit 12, if not the heavy rail, at least a bus that shuttles from 12 to the 12/20/2012 1:25 PM station at 11 at the bare minimum. 21 Outside of Area An access point in Johns Creek will be beneficial. 12/19/2012 4:16 PM 22 Northridge Northridge 12/19/2012 5:38 AM 23 None no 12/18/2012 6:09 AM 24 Northridge Northridge Station 12/17/2012 6:51 AM 25 McGinnis Ferry I would love to see the line extended to the County Line at McGinnis Ferry or McFarland 12/13/2012 3:18 PM Parkway 26 Northridge Northridge road would help to increase transit access to other areas and decrease burden of 12/13/2012 10:30 AM traffic usage at Holcomb Bridge/Pitts station. 27 Northridge Consider a Northridge + Highway 9 access point OR a Morgan Falls access point instead of a 12/12/2012 9:57 PM Pitts station— Pitts road is out of the way. In Alpharetta, a downtown alpharetta station is possible because there are abandoned industrial lots— please pass this map along: http://goo.gl/maps/MwSyE 28 Holcomb Bridge Station should be designed to link with Riverwalk Trail 12/12/2012 6:13 PM 29 Northridge Northridge Road 12/12/2012 4:26 PM 5 / 38 Connect 400 Alternatives # Responses Date 30 Northridge Northridge. Will pick up a large population south of the Chattahoochee from the Roswell Rd / 12/12/2012 3:59 PM Hwy 9 Corridor. The river is a significant chokepoint for surface transportation on Hwy 9. Providing a station on both sides will greatly ease this. 31 Outside of Area An access point in Johns Creek will be beneficial. 12/12/2012 3:34 PM 32 Northridge Northridge Road 12/12/2012 1:56 PM 33 None No 12/12/2012 1:29 PM 34 Haynes Bridge Haynes Bridge Road 12/12/2012 12:12 PM 35 None None 12/11/2012 5:35 PM 6 / 38 Connect 400 Alternatives Q5 Other suggestons? Answered: 37 Skipped: 99 # Responses Date 1 HRT-yes Please consider HRT. this would reduce lots of traffic on GA 400. Any other alternative is like 1/15/2013 3:03 PM wasting money as it cannot help to reduce the traffic. 2 TOD/Development Maximise station trading to reduce tax support. Maximise Park and ride to get people 1/15/2013 9:22 AM to use the train for commutting. 3 HRT-yes BRT is not going to bring the ridership that rail will. Please consider using rail to extend the line. 1/14/2013 11:41 AM 4 Question #2 makes no reference to timeframe. My answer is applicable if the inference is "for the next ten 1/11/2013 7:06 AM yrs" 5 Marta has a serious identity crisis and is routinely used out of need than convenience.
