Local brief
Marietta Boulevard could get $1 million for design—not construction
The proposal pairs up to $800,000 through Georgia DOT with a $200,000 city match. Atlanta’s Transportation Committee is scheduled to consider it Nov. 9.
A stretch of Marietta Boulevard between Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Coronet Way could get up to $1 million for preliminary engineering and design. The proposal before Atlanta’s Transportation Committee would fund that preparatory work—not construction.[1]
Up to $800,000 would come through the Georgia Department of Transportation’s Transportation Improvement Program. Atlanta would contribute a local match of up to $200,000 from its TSPLOST II 2022 capital-project fund.[1]
The City Council voted 11–0 on Nov. 2 to refer Ordinance 26-O-1616 to the Transportation Committee. That was a referral, not approval of the funding package. The measure remains listed as pending for the committee’s Nov. 9 meeting.[1][2]
The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. in the Larry M. Dingle Committee Room at Atlanta City Hall, 55 Trinity Avenue. The agenda provides three minutes for public comment.[1]
