Chairman The Atlanta-Fulton County League supports transportation policies that encourage more reliance on public transportation, increased carrying capacity of present street systems, and construction of bikeways, sidewalks and pedestrian malls. We believe that before any more urban interstate highways are built that cities have the opportunity to plan and adequately finance transportation systems of their choice. We strongly favor continuous and widespread community participation in all phases of the transportation program-planning, development, and operations. Various opportunities for citizen input should be developed so that citizens are not limited to reacting to fixed plans. We feel that transportation planning and construction must weigh all ocial and environ­ mental costs. Consideration of such factors as disruption of neighborhoods, demolition of housing, and adverse effects to the physical environment should be given at least equal weight with technical, economic, and political aspects in determining recommen­ dations on specific projects.
