Tonight, located at the Center for Civic Innovation - 115 Martin Luther King Jr Drive SW Atlanta, GA 30303 on the 3rd Floor;  a meeting occurred that I and many others did not get a chance to participate in due to one thing or another.

This meeting was likely a Community Information Meeting, whereas, a Group of People would learn about upcoming legislation.  Perhaps, they discuss placing a general vote on the ballot in the Fall of 2016 to fix our roads, non-existing sidewalks, as well as, other badly needed infrastructure within the corridor of Martin Luther King Jr Drive.

Here is a link regarding the discussion mentioned above:  http://beltline.org/2016/06/03/info-on-marta-and-tsplost-ballot-measures/

Now, if the link does not work after a certain period of time has passed; here are two PDF - Question and Answer documents to download, whereas, one is regarding the TSPLOST and the other - MARTA Transportation Referendum.

1) TSPLOST:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zMnOB0CuuBNGd3a1lYdmROYmc/view?usp=sharing


2)  MARTA Transportation Referendum:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zMnOB0CuuBWEVNTWVob0JWcXM/view?usp=sharing 


West Atlanta, particularly Neighbors living near the point sixty-fifth 0.65 of a mile passage called, "Linkwood Road".  It is important to vote in favor of the TSPLOST and call your local City Council Person to get a sidewalk extending from Collier Drive on Linkwood Road to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

This short distance has been a concern since at least 1964 (Over 50 years ago),  when the Linkwood Bridge was built to cross I-20.

Well, these are my thoughts.  What say you?  Thanks for reading our blogs.
