Body

Item Summary:

The Atlanta Regional Commission programmed $25 million of MARTA capital funds in return for funding MARTA Operations in 2009. The City of Roswell is eligible to program $1,674,500 in capital improvements that enhance or augment the existing MARTA bus service in the City of Roswell. An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) was executed for this project.  

 

This project will design bus stop improvements at up to ten shelter locations. The improvement locations were based on bus ridership. The eight primary and two alternate locations are as follows:  Holcomb Bridge Rd. @ Riverwood Ln.; Alpharetta St. @ Houze Rd.; Holcomb Bridge Rd. @ Old Dogwood Rd.; Atlanta St. @ Oak St.; Alpharetta St. @ Cherry St.; Alpharetta St. @ Mansell Rd.; Holcomb Bridge Rd. @ Warsaw Rd.; Mansell Rd. @ 980; Alpharetta Hwy. @ Hembree Rd.; and Holcomb Bridge Rd. @ Alpharetta St.  There are two alternate locations in case a constructability issue or right-of-way limitation does not allow a shelter to be installed at a primary location.
